The DICE Electronics RDS FM Universal iPod Integration Car kit not only plays the music stored on your iPod, it also displays track and artist information as an RDS message on your radio's display! Typically used as an alternative to the DICE factory fit iPod adapter or as a cheaper option.

What is RDS?
Radio Data System, or RDS, is a standard from the European Broadcasting Union for sending small amounts of digital information using conventional FM radio broadcasts. The RDS system standardizes several types of information transmitted, including time, track/artist info and station identification. Also known as RBDS in the U.S.

Most car radios have the ability to decode the RDS data stream and display it on the radio, check for the RDS logo on your car radio or consult your radio manual to see if this feature is supported. If you don't have RDS support, don't worry! The DICE Electronics FM iPod Kit will work just fine, just won't see text across your radio.

The DICE RDS FM iPod Adapter will also charge your iPod to ensure hours of uninterrupted listening and you control the music on your iPod like you always do.

Finally a great sounding iPod car integration kit for ALL cars that have an AM/FM coaxial aerial connection. The DICE RDS FM connects directly in-line with your aerial connection on the rear of your radio and when listening to your iPod, the external aerial is bypassed to stop interference from local FM stations and to offer static-free FM modulation so you can listen to your songs recorded on your iPod whenever and for as long as you wish in the comfort and privacy of your own vehicle.
