What's the deal with HD Radio? Is there a way to add it to the AVIC-N3?

Thanks,

Jason

HD Radio only has plug and play solutions for the car right now...

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.

OH my fuglyness. Who was high when they designed that thing.

that, my friend, is the future of terrestrial radio hahahahah with annoying commercial breaks every 12 minutes and all!

I have no interest at all in having HD radio, but there is a decent solution from DEI to those who do:

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

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!!!

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!

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!!

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.
