Hidden update!
 
Now whilst playing music over fm transmitter, it actually transmits:

"<Artist> / <Album> / <Title>"

instead of just "Nokia"

Penultimately useless feature but still makes me happy :D touches like this make me love my N900 so much more!!

So we no longer need the RDS app. cool. Less extra apps = better for N900 imo.

The 3rd party app has SMS and missed calls, caller ID, etc.

Was going to mention this, noticed it on my car the other day and thought for a second I had downloaded the RDS application by accident.
Works well but its pointless on my cars radio as It only shows 1-2 small words at a time.
Glad it was added though.

Well, I know that you can configure the RDS app, but it never worked for me + its kinda awkward to start the QT widgets from the menu.

Yes I noticed this too in my car, but luckily it does scroll through so you can see all info "<Artist> / <Album> / <Title>". One less app to fire up so it's a bonus, now if they get it to display that you've received a text or email then that would be great although it does sound a beep through your stereo.

RDS functionality is not working for me. All I get is either "Nokia" or "RSD" on the radio screen. I installed the RDS plugin too but that did not help in any way.

It came with the PR1.1 update (51-1). Do you have it?
