I live in an area that most stations are using RDS. My previous vehicle had RDS and I got artist/song title/station ID/and Genre info from most stations. My new H3 shows no RDS info at all. According to the manual it shoud. I asked the dealer about it and they acted like I did not know what I was talking about. Is anyone else out there recieving RDS info from FM stations in their H3? I really miss it. BTW is there way to get the XM info to scroll continously without constantly having to press the "DISP" button?

I don't believe that particular unit is a RDS radio. They usually have RDS enblazed on the face somewhere if they are

I have not seen anything that mentions RDS on the Monsoon though I don't have the manual to look at. My Mountaineer's factory system had RDS and I thought I would miss it when I upgraded the system. Now I almost primarily listen to XM so don't miss it at all.

I went back to the dealer agan and spoke to an expert. Get this, all radios in the H1 and H2 have RDS. None of the radios for the H3 have RDS. The manual refers to the nav radio that is not available yet. What's the deal?

you know, that really burns my biscuits! seriously though. I was like what the hey is this info button for. If the next year's models suddenly work, I feel like hummer should replace our stereos. Let alone I had to find out the hard way mine doesnt play mp3's either!

This came out of the manual too!!!! What the ?!!!


Navigation/Radio System
Your vehicle may have a navigation radio system that
includes Radio Data System (RDS) with Program
Type (PTY) selections that will seek out the kind of
music you want to listen to and XM™ Satellite Radio
Service capabilities (if equipped). The radio can
also communicate with the navigation system to
broadcast announcements on traffic, weather, and
emergency alert communications. For information on
how to use this system, see the “Navigation System”
manual.

Is there anything we can do about this???

XM just started in Canada -- and I don't think my radio even has XM on the display... I see AM FM 1 and FM 2 -- I'm not sure if XM is not in the same display area. Can anyone clarify?

And seriously -- this whole RDS and info button bites! Who's got the power to replace our stereos!

This is a reference to information posted on this forum, look at the first line.
"General Information

So far the information is limited, but here is what we know so far:"

Don't believe this is official GM information, just a compilation done by this website, and there are a few other "mistakes."
Personally, I don't remember seeing anything that stated these radios were RDS compatible.
Don't see it on the Hummer.com website, but it is early in the AM, and from my experience, couldn't say, I only listen to XM and/or CDs.

As for MP3s, it is documented in the Hummer.com site which radio is capable of MP3 CDs.

The INFO button is for MP3 radios and for XM messages.
