The FM radio also if there is a way to pick up RDS data. Do you know if it is possible?
The TEA5767 doesn't have RDS onboard.
One could add a SAA6588 per http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/pub/Main/DataSheets/application_note_tea5767-8.pdf
Possible Alternatives to consider:
Si4703 http://www.ebay.com/itm/221463938377
FM2011 http://www.ebay.com/itm/261217969109There's an interesting paper about using RDS as an accurate timebase, with the TEA5764HN chip, tho I don't know where to get a module with that chip:

I don't know about the traffic jam thing - do you have any reference? I'm wondering if that's based on low power radios along the highway reporting local conditions, vs wide area FM broadcast RDS. If it's the former, you might have to drive your sensors around to get local traffic jam info from various places (or live next to the highway that matters). :-) But I'm only guessing.As for time, according to the paper linked at the bottom of my last msg, RDS content can include real time info with about 100ms accuracy - and the paper itself was about a method of getting more precise incremental timing from the RDS packet timing (there's an IRQ on that chip at the end of a RDS packet and apparently they found the timing on that to be precise).

Or we could try receiving DCF77 signal :)

Other radio clock signals:

Or GPS for a very accurate time :)

@hek a sensor I'll explain the use later... quite sensible...

Curious on how this could be useful!
I think he got inspired by my YouTube video and wants to create a line-following temperature sensor ;-)
