jjt3hii Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 What's the deal with HD Radio? Is there a way to add it to the AVIC-N3? Thanks, Jason Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaisanNYC Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 HD Radio only has plug and play solutions for the car right now... http://www.evisteon.com/prod_serv/mobil ... ndex.shtml Thing is REAL ugly too! HD Radio. bleahhhh more channels of commercial garbage. Spend a lil $$$ and get one of the two true commercial free services, XM Radio or Sirius Satellite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cntrylvr79 Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 OH my fuglyness. Who was high when they designed that thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaisanNYC Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 that, my friend, is the future of terrestrial radio hahahahah with annoying commercial breaks every 12 minutes and all! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whtcrxghst Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 I have no interest at all in having HD radio, but there is a decent solution from DEI to those who do: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-xKHggKkp94 ... 4000&wm=cl Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaisanNYC Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 That actually is a nice option. the controller looks like one of the old cd changer controllers (with a nicer screen). But dammit its still commercial radio! lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whtcrxghst Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Ya, If you ask me, you would have to be crazy to buy that thing but I am sure they will sell some. The best feature is the FM modulator. Nothing like HD Radio through FM mod. Brilliant!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaisanNYC Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Even while NAB (National Assoc. of Broadcasters - the group pushing for HD Radio), vehemently pushes the FCC to review and recall XM and Sirius radios for their FM mods saying they are illegal by rebroadcasting copyrighted music!

cntrylvr79 Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Now that's just funny. Are they going to go after pioneer, sony, jvc etc. for the fm modulated cd changers that have been around for more than 10 years next? I could see the headlines now. FCC and NAB SHUT DOWN ALL MOBILE ELECTRONICS MANUFACTURES!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaisanNYC Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Since they are pushing for this, and being hypocrites by pushing HD Radio units with FM Mods, why not go up against the behemoth Apple and their iPods? Nooooooo go after SatRad because its a competitor for free radio! Chintzy bastards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
