If you’re tuned to a station that is also broadcasting different content on separate HD Radio channels, you’ll notice a multicast indicator on your vehicle’s SYNC display. In addition to familiar HD1 channels, HD2 and other multicast channels include unique content that is only accessible with an HD Radio receiver. Also, when you turn on HD Radio, your center console screen will display information including song name, artist and station name. When you leave HD Radio on, your radio will automatically play these stations with the superior sound quality offered by the digital broadcast. HD1 stations include all traditional AM and FM stations, but with improved sound quality. If this is the case, you may want to turn off HD Radio until you drive back into an area with good HD Radio reception.
You may notice your radio fade in and out when this happens, and if you’re driving in an area with intermittent HD radio reception, this type of fading might happen frequently. When you’re listening to an HD1 station, blending is the process by which your radio automatically switches between digital and analog versions of the same broadcast. Since HD2 and other multicast stations don’t have analog broadcasts, your radio will remain muted until reception returns or until you change the channel to an analog station. However, if you’re listening to an HD2, HD3 or another multicast channel and you lose HD Radio reception, your radio will mute. If you lose HD Radio reception while listening to an HD1 station, your radio will automatically switch over to the analog version of the broadcast. When HD Radio is on, the button will illuminate. You can turn HD Radio on and off with the HD Radio button on your center console’s SYNC display.
Using Your HD Radio Turning HD Radio On and Off* And no matter what station you’re listening to, HD Radio delivers detailed information like song, artist and station name, right on your center console’s SYNC display. On HD2, HD3 and other multicast channels, you’ll have access to thousands of additional broadcasts. On HD1 channels, your HD Radio offers standard AM and FM stations with enhanced audio quality. The digital receiver inside the radio provides crystal-clear radio sound, and you can still use conventional radio controls and analog tuners, if desired. Your vehicle's HD Radio™ technology gives you access to more listening options and improved sound quality without a subscription.
