HD Radio complaints
 

Not all BMW owners are happy with HD. A human mind combined with the
ability to speak words and invent stories is an interesting thing.
But today, with a globe thats connected with bits and bites it's
difficult to hide from your history, or what other people REALLY
think!

"I hate being scammed. Sorry if I ranted but this crap makes me angry.
And shame on BMW for allowing their electronics infotainment partners
to sell them on such a lame idea. Save the money and put an LSD in the
E82 as standard equipment - that would make a lot more people happy."


" if you find it going out of sync, you can disable the HD radio and
you will be good... Back in December there was a brief time where it
was out of sync and the occasional dead air for 5 seconds... I
disabled it for a few days, never noticed it again... but in all
fairness I seldom listen to the radio."


"this is true... and there is a good reason it's free, it's not that
good, especially on a non-nav car.
It may not sound that good because even the upgraded stereo system on
my 2010 135i is not that great a system (for the money)!"


"It would be better if the preset would select either one or the
other, instead of switching to digital any time the signal is there."
