"HD Radio™ Troubleshooting Guide (Consumers)"

"Station Volume changes. Audio repeats or jumps forward in time. An
echo occurs when the radio switches between Analog and Digital audio.
Digital audio sounds worse than the Analog audio. The HD-Radio™ sound
keeps switching between Digital and Analog audio quality. HD-Radio™
Indicator keeps turning on and off."

"Gimme More HD Signal Pleeeze"

"I purchased the HD Radio option in my BMW-X5 in January 2008. (I have
commented in the past regarding this experience). But I must say after
having paid for and using this option I kinda secretly wish I could
get my money back. And here’s why. The HD audio signal can’t seem to
find my car."

"HD radio breaks up!"

"I know this has been around the block before. I would like to here
from any members particularly in the Seattle area that have HD radio
and what their likes and dislikes are. I have had the same problem
ever since I took delivery with the HD cutting out. Mine will cut in
and out at a traffic light. I live 6 miles from work and the HD will
cut out 2-10 times during my commute. I have taken it to the dealer
last week and they replaced the tail light sockets. Their take on it
was there was an magnetic interferance issue with the antenna system
causing the HD to cut in and out. This has not fixed the problem but
they say the antenna signal strength is higher now. I can't say if
it's the car radio or that HD is not as strong as signal and this is
just the way it is. This problem exists with all HD channels. I would
hate to see the dealer keep my car for an extended period of time when
in fact there is nothing wrong. I am in south Seattle."

"Problem with HD Radio"

"I am having a problem with my HD Radio. I have iDrive, so I see
everything on the big screen. My radio is set to be in HD mode all the
time, but it switches to analog on occasion. On one of my preset
stations, when it is in HD mode, the station will play for two seconds
and then it will fade out and not come back. If it is in analog mode,
the station will play without fading out... I went to the service
department yesterday and the SA told me that it may be weather-
related. We have been having some crazy weather here in Southern
California. I first noticed these problems during the bad weather --
but it seems like it may be something more than weather issues."

"HD Radio problem"

"I have started to experience a problem with my HD Radio and was
wondering if I'm alone, or if any of my fellow 'festers have ideas.
Every once in a while (and now, all too often), my Radio will 'buzz'
whenever a station is tuned. The buzzing will quickly become louder
than the radio content. I can stop this phenomenon by during the HD
Radio 'off', in the Audio Settings. After turning the car off, and
back on this will ususally go away. Today it didn't (go away). I love
the sound of the HD Radio. However, this is becoming unacceptable."
