I believe it stands for "Radio Data System". Unfortunately, the system never became universally supported by radio stations. I have the feature in my car, and only about two stations here in Chicago offer any data whatsoever. Unfortunately, it was a great idea that never really panned out.

I agree.

I had this feature on my Audi and only found a few stations in the Chicagoland area that broadcasted their station call signs.

If you subscribe to XM you'll get artist name, song title, category, channel name and channel number.

Indeed, the XM gives you all sorts of info, and it is cool when you are on a station that plays music you've heard and always wondered who the artist was.
