I found one post on here that said Alpine did but I can't find anything about it on their site. I would like to have RDS, MP3 and WMA. The post also said RDS was worthless in the US but it seems to work great in the Dallas area. Most radio stations I listen to broadcast the station, artist and song title |

For specific Kenwood models, you might want to grab a Crutchfield magazine or just check their website www.crutchfield.com The mp925 is the only model I can think of at the moment... |

Gold Member Username: IlluminatorPost Number: 1542 Registered: Apr-05 | I suppose it has become an outdated technology... |
|
New member Username: JoelsplacePost Number: 5 Registered: Sep-05 | Is there something out that has replaced it? I would think that anyone that knew about it would want it... Or am I the only one that likes it? |

Random Person Unregistered guest | one modle of my kenwood decks has it...its the KDC-X817 |
|
Random Person Unregistered guest | i also noticed in my dads 04 silverado ( how ever its spelled) that RDS is in it so it cant be too outdated |

Gold Member Username: IlluminatorPost Number: 1544 Registered: Apr-05 | Yeah, OEM headunits still have it...I almost never listen to FM...I'm usually listening to XM which already displays the name and artist of every song... |

New member Username: JoelsplacePost Number: 6 Registered: Sep-05 | Does the KDC-X817 handle MP3 and WMA? Several Blaupunkt models have RDS and MP3 but no WMA. I read that RDS was actually fairly new but it seems that Kenwood and Pioneer have discontinued it. |
