*RDS = Radio Data System. It gives info on the type of station and what's currently playing.

I miss the RDS also. I have it on my Sienna. Also, I'm getting along fine without the energy screens. Working on my 2nd tank and getting 40.4mpg after 300mi!
I do not like the text display on non-nav systems. What size font is that? 36? But you probably wouldn't be able to tell what it says if they made it any smaller because of the crappy LCD resolution. Looks like they saved a little on the display.
What I have seen suggested and I'm just now trying it is to write MP3 playlists onto audio cd's. I believe I could get ~140 songs on one disc...do that with 3-4 cd's and that's a lot of music. Then just put the playback in random mode. I've always run my ipod in this mode and now I can do the same thing without needing to plug in the ipod. Another advantage is that the cd will stop where it was playing while you talk on the phone or run into the store...the ipod (plugged into the AUX jack) will not, although maybe one of those ipod craddles would do that, I haven't looked at those yet.
