Default Other automakers with HD Radio liable, too?

Since I don't know what codec they use, I can't say what they need to increase
their bit rates to, but assuming they do (or could) use AAC, they would have
to cut their number of channels by as much as one third to compensate for
the higher bit rate.

They use a ten-year-old, AAC-derivative codec in non-updatable hardware.
Many of today's codecs are greatly superior to the codec installed in
every "HD Radio" ever made.
