OK, so I am trying to pull in HD stations, but seem to be having trouble doing so. I live in Tampa nd we should have more than 10 HD stations in the area. I have HD Radio activated in my system, so why am I not pulling in HD stations? Should the HD logo show up next to the radio station in the preset that I have created? Also, when I run the Autostor HD feature, it does not pull anything up. Is there a limited range to HD Radio signals or something? I should be within 20 miles of the radio stations.
Any help is appreciated...

If you are in the US, try the link below to see the HD stations in your area.

Well the HD option is pretty new and I know folks are curious like me, hence the views. Posting your location would be helpful.

Duh, sorry about that. Skimmed through your first post too fast. Are you picking up nothing at all on the HD channels listed?

hehe...yeah for some reason I am not picking up any hd channels...at least I do not think so. I read the manual several times and it does not really explain how to pull in the hd stations.

are you sure HD Radis is tunred "ON". You can deactivate it through IDrive. Your proximity to the radio transmission towers will effect HD reception. Here in Boston the HD reception is great and sounds better than Sirrius, however, I'm always listening to my IPOD .

If its on and your not picking them up its not working-take it to the dealer. I have it here and it works just like any rado-picks up the available stations without doing anything-yours is not working if it is truly on
