RDS question for Corolla CE - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I have a 2006 Toyota CE, and it talks about RDS in the manual and has the text button on the radio, but it has never displayed anything. I know that the FM radio stations in my city have RDS feeds; I was just in a car that received them.

Can anyone give me suggestions on how it will work, or an answer as to why it won't work?

I thought RDS wasnt available in the USA. Atleast my US-version Pioneer lacks RDS.

No, RDS is definitely available in the US.

My car '06 XRS also has RDS here in Tucson but it sucks. Whenever I visit a station with RDS, I have to press TEXT several times for it to display the full message. For example if I visit KIIM fm and they are playing lets say Rascal Flats, well... when I click text it will display the station call letters then revert back to the station frequency (99.5). I then have to click TEXT again to see the song title. If the title is long I will have to click TEXT several times since it automatically reverts back to the stations frequency.
