HD radio

[bluecar]

Anyone use this yet? I hear it advertised all the time.

ANy doubledin units have HD "inside". Without needing additional antenna or wire hookups?

Never heard it, would like to though.

Does it work like HD TV where you either get a clear signal or none? One benefit for me is a local radio station has a HD channel that is all old school hip-hop. I am waiting for an all in one double-din dvd, gps, hd radio, USB, 4volt pre-outs, bluetooth for $500ish all built in and I will jump on it.

The way I see it the prices are just going to keep dropping so in a year or so I think my needs will be more realisitic in that price range, until then my 9807 does fine.

I don't need blue tooth, but would like an active crossover.

I am thinking it may be included in the HU. From my understanding it is free with the proper equipment. If that equipment is $50 more, then it's not that big of a deal.

I haven't found any where the HD radio is built in. I don't care enough to have an external unit.

There is a great article in stereophile this month on HD radio. It's under Sam's space. If anyone gets it, or has a link, post it please :) If not, I'll type it out later (headed to the gym soon, so just no time).

Cliffs - it's a fad.
