Where did my RDS go?!?

I disconnected the battery for a few hours the other day to do some work on my '05 Screw. When I powered back up and went to re-set my radio settings, my RDS was gone. I've gone thru the menu options, but don't see it. Any ideas? I have the Audiophile system, if it matters.

Radio Data System.....

I assume you used the directions right from the manual?
RDS (Available on Audiophile radios only): RDS is available in FM mode, and allows you to search RDS-equipped stations for a certain category of music format: Classic, Country, Info, Jazz/RB, Religious, Rock, Soft, Top 40.

RDS
must be activated to access Find and Show functions.

To activate, press and hold MENU until RDS (ON/OFF) appears in the
display. Use ^/ V . < SEEK > to toggle RDS ON/OFF.

Then press MENU repeatedly to scroll through Find, Show and RDS. When RDS is Off, you will not be able to access Find and Show functions.

Find: RDS must be activated to access the Find function. Find allows
you to search RDS-equipped stations for the desired music category.

Use ^/ V to find the desired program type, then use < SEEK > or
SCAN to begin the search.

Show
: RDS must be activated to access the Show function. Show allows
you to display the name of the radio station or program type.
Use ^/ V ; < SEEK > to show type, name or none.

Thanks for the info. I actually figured it out today while driving down the road. I guess that's what I get for having the wife look for directions...
