Default Radio problem

I just recently put in a new battery and had to reprogram my clock in the radio to the right time but know it won't display the title of the song or radio station


Does any one know how to fix it ??

Press the "text" button. This should cycle through, giving you different options for text display. At some point it should give you the option to turn RDS to "on".

If you have an RDS button, push that. Then you might have to push the text.

That picture is pretty small. I was hoping to be able to read the buttons, but am not able to.
Anyway, the owner's manual for the 2009 has the following:

Available only in FM mode. This feature allows you to search

RDBS-equipped stations for a certain category of music format:

CLASSIC, COUNTRY, JAZZ/RB, ROCK, etc.

To activate:


Press MENU repeatedly until RDBS (ON/OFF) appears in

the display. Use SEEK to toggle RDBS ON/OFF. When RDBS is

off, you will not be able to search for RDBS equipped stations or view

the station name or type.
