I've got the 6 disc with RDS on my 2002 EB. Anyone else notice the RDS is
basically worthless? It will give you the song name and artist if the station
provides it. But when the next song comes on it doesn't update the information
until you referesh the display by changing the volume or hitting some other
button. I have been in Dodges and GM's that know how to update. What is the
story with Ford RDS??

I have the radio with RDS and a single Disc player. The RDS works just fine,
not many stations here in Southern Calif using it, but it works well on the
ones that have it, also in Las Vegas, Nv.

Yup, I noticed it the other day when my son was here. Annoying, isn't
it? Fortunately I don't have much use for the RDS anyway ...
