Default What is Radio setting "RDS"

There is a setting in the radio menu that is "RDS", either
ON or OFF. What is it?

RDS = Radio Data System. It's what makes your FM radio "smart." It's what gives you the actual station name and call letters and, depending on the radio, allows for scanning based on data rather than just signal.
