KIA Automobiles to come with HD Radio
According to a press release yesterday, in certain KIA Motors makes and models coming in 2010, the auto-manufacturer will include HD Radio Receivers. The devices will be able to receive high definition AM and FM radio stations with crystal clear sound for free. Sedans and SUVs will be the first models to have the factory installed receivers according to the company.

HD Radio is the latest radio technology that is currently available to about 80% of the US population and offers over 1,800 radio stations countrywide. All channels are subscription-free and deliver their broadcasts in digital format making the sound quality much better than the more common AM/FM radio signals listened to today. In addition to the audio portion of the digital signal supplied on the channels many channels offer corresponding data providing information and up to the minutes news along with the audio.

I was not even thinking about HD radio. I drive a classic car, I hope they will not make me add a new radio to listen.

I don't believe there is a plan to upgrade all radio networks to digital, the way that television signals are in February.

I hope this is the start of a new trend and this will become standard in most vehicles.
