How do some car radios receive and display the title/album/artist of a song?

It makes sense to me with Bluetooth because the sound system and device are connected. But when it’s regular radio, how is it receiving and displaying this information?

FM radio transmits text data through a protocol called Radio Data System, or RDS. The data is superimposed onto the FM signal, and radios with the decoder chipsets can display it.

For a more In-depth explanation, here’s the [wiki](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Data_System).
