In order to hear the radio in hd i guess i need the special reciver?
I dont know what its called not much of a electronic junkie
However i do enjoy the pics you guys post on here.
and also hero do all your driver side funtions work?
with the new h/u?
Is it a plug and play type of set up?

 

How do keep your dash controls is listed in the FAQ

 

I think HD radio is through an Ai-Net module. Modifry's Dash Control Interface (DCI) will retain your dash controls... more or less plug and play.

 

HD radio can be received if the HD radio Tuner Modue ( TUA-T500HD ) is connected.


straight of the 9857 manual for you.

 

has anyone installed this?

 

i'd be curious to see if HD radio has any improvements over regular radio quality.

the 9857 manual states that DIGITAL will display if the tuner receives a radio station with audio and text signals - is there something else i need to buy for this? my friends' stock HUs (bmw and audi) display the artist and song names, and it would be nice if the 9857 can do that too.

 

im curious as well, someone should change this title of this topic and i want to see if anyone has experience with this yet.

 

Tuner Modue ( TUA-T500HD ), as stated above, is what you need for hd radio and is what is needed to display song titles and artists on the HU

 

at $250 i don't think it's worth it for hd radio... my friends' cars came out years ago, and i would assume those HUs weren't for hd signals. they said they don't have a subscription to xm or satellite radio, but the artist and song names still show up after they manually set something on their decks, so that's why i was curious as to see whether there was a setting on the 9857 that i missed in the manual.

 

how much is XM again? I would really like to know how the quality of HD radio is.
