After 2 months I finally got the owner's manual from the previous owner of my '02 GT vert. I just discovered the Radio Data System feature on my Mach 460, but I don't think it's working right. I scrolls throught the artist name, song name and radio station but a lot of times it will just freeze. If I dajust the volume, or press the same station preset button, or do just about anything to change the display, it will start to scroll again for a minute or so, then freeze again.

Is this normal, or should I bring it in for warranty repair?

I don't really know but I would just get used to the Mach 460 being a piece of crap . My bass doesn't work at all. My cd player frequently stops working.

mine did the same thing on my '03 until i removed it.

Some stations were better than others. Some scrolled smoothly, others just froze up.

I think it's *not* the radio, but the way that stations have implemented RDS.

Mine scrolls the RDS perfectly.

Only peeve i have is that not all my radio stations have the feature. I love when i hear a new song on the radio and i can look down and immediately see who sings it.

I have no problems what so ever with my Mach 460 system. Wish i had the RDS feature though.
