Buick Enclave: AM-FM Radio. Satellite Radio. XM™ Radio Messages

AM-FM Radio

Radio Data System (RDS)

The Radio Data System (RDS) feature works only with FM stations that broadcast RDS information. The radio depends on data sent by the station, so station names, call letters, or related text appear only when that information is available and received correctly. When the Buick Enclave is tuned to an FM-RDS station, the display may show the station name or call letters instead of only the frequency.

In rare cases, a radio station may broadcast incorrect or incomplete RDS information. If this happens, some radio display features may not work as expected, even though the radio itself is operating normally. If the issue occurs only with one station, contact that station for more information.

Finding a Station

BAND: Press to switch between AM, FM, or XM. The selected band appears on the display.

2. Press the softkey below the XM CAT tab.
3. Turn to display the category to be removed.
