The only car manufacturer I know of that is promoting HD radio is BMW.
I
have heard the BMW commercials on AM radio as my source but I don't
know
if it is an option or standard or any other details. Could be just
promotional BS. I'm not interested enough to follow up on it. I already
waisted my time on the Samsung site looking for vaporware.


My X5 has HD. Third generation and marvelous. Takes FMs in HD to and
beyond
the useful analog contour, and AMs on clean frequencies beyond the onset
of
noise on analog. During the storms two weeks ago, I could get KNX HD for
news well into Riverside County, while the analog signal was unlistenable
due to the lightening and atmospherics.

Snip

Was it an option or standard equipment?

Mine had it installed on the lot. Which is funny, as my dealer is a good 70
miles from the closest HD station.

How KOGO 600? Can you get that in HD?

I live in the Pasadena-Glendale area, and KOGO is a nosy catch at best
there. I am inland, and off the coastal plain area of good conductivity.

I was able to carry KFYI 550 to within 15 miles of Quartzite along the 10 in
full stereo HD several times.
