I have the Silabs FM-USB and it works great in my car.

RDS functionality for RR plugin

**Jarrod** · 03-16-2007, 10:20 PM

I'm so keen for an RR plugin for this that works... How would I go about using any of the attachments to get this dongle to work from RR? Is it possible yet? I dont need RDS, but would be nice just for the station information, not interested in traffic announcements at all. I'm not sure it's even broadcast over here in Aussieland

Also another thread Guino said he would be willing to integrate it:

I must thank RRMobile greatly for the work done on the DLL and VB interfacing - i've been examining it with my rudimentary programming knowledge, mainly trying to figure out the crazyness that is the RDS info.

The silabs software seems to use some sort of probability calculations to ensure the correct data is always there, a feature I guess must be added to ensure perfect text. Personally here in the UK though I find, with what seems like a good signal, it takes at least 10 seconds to guarentee a station name, and around 45seconds to get radio text!

How do these car headunits do it so easily?????

It's on the new Beta:

http://guino.home.insightbb.com/RoadRunner.zip

>> Silabs Code is Untested <<

I added support to the Stereo indicator and the RDSText display which was missing.
Also make sure you set RADIOMODE=7 (6 was already the native RadioShark Support)

Now, does anybody know who made this SilabsTest.zip (USBRadio.DLL) ??? -- I'd like to give proper credit to the user.

It works when you use the correct DLL \o/

Just so there's no ambiguity, the dll I used is attached

**CdRsKuLL** · 04-04-2007, 06:19 PM

you cant tune up/down fine tune/up and down.. I'm sure he will release a updated beta as soon as hes happy with it, just testing a few things at the mo :-)
