Dose anyone have a deck with RDS? Why do the ones on the market not have it? I mean there are some that cost 250-400$ and still don't have RDS. I don't use the radio alot but i would like to get the RDS feature just because alot of times i want to know what song they are playing and they never say. Please post if you know whats up with the RDS thing...

RDS isn't really in wide use in the U.S. Most stations I've
encountered do little more than broadcast their call letters or
tagline. In the Detroit area, there's only one station that will
broadcast the current song information via RDS. Europe is a
different story...

right?
For XM material, it should.

the cheapest radio i see with RDS is for 500$. Most the the dvd player/cd/fm/xm players have the Rds on it, i see a nice touch screen one. Its alot. I was just looking into it because the only good radio station hear was talking about it. I think they said they are using it now or something, is it like going to start coming in play more with stations soon? or is just like used by some and not others? And what is this HD radio coming in 2004 stuff...

Hell if I know. RDS has been around for years, and it took this long for a handful of stations to really use any of it. IMHO, it's not worth paying extra for.
And what is this HD radio coming in 2004 stuff...
IBOC (In-Band On-Channel) digital radio. Essentially it's terrestrial digital broadcasts, using a subcarrier on standard radio frequencies. Meaning, if you have a standard radio and tune to a station (105.1, for example,) you'll get the normal analog broadcast. If you have an IBOC receiver and tune to 105.1, you'll be able to get the digital broadcast. Sound quality is much like Sirius satellite radio.
