Experience Premium Sound & More Stations
Take your in-car audio experience to the next level with HD Radio technology. Unlike standard FM/AM, HD Radio offers CD-quality audio, more stations, and free digital content—with no subscription needed.
What Is HD Radio?
HD Radio is digital radio broadcasting that delivers better sound quality and extra stations over traditional FM and AM frequencies. You’ll hear less static, clearer vocals, and deeper bass, with support for text displays, like song titles and traffic alerts.
With HD Radio, a single FM station can carry multiple channels—like 102.5, 102.5-2, and 102.5-3—so you enjoy more music, news, or talk content on your favorite stations.
