Demand was created by radio, in response to satellite radio. If automakers
can't sell radios because theirs no demand from consumers, how then will
dealers make money from a preimum option?

It's more than car listening. Only about 30% of radio listening is in the
car.

The fake Hispanic also has a fake eduacation - he is a lousyy high-
school dropout with a lousy GED. My company, a DOD contractor,
requires US citizenship, and atleast a high-school diploma.

Yes, that's it in a nut shell.

HD Radio doesn't even have the funds to pay to get in-dash.

in the 70's Without cable, you were left with a handful of free over the air
TV stations. And reception wasn't reliable

Without HD radio, you are still left with no less than 30 free viable Am/Fm
radio stations.

With HD you get stations that sound a little better, but bascially are left
with the same format choices already found on Am/FM

A better move would be to improve the AM receiver by using a decent sync
detector an a variable Q IF.
