Hey everyone!

HD radio is available for SYNC 3, but it does not come standard on all vehicles. If you don't see the icon on your screen, the feature is not available.

Hello Shaay, how do we go about enabling or turning this on in that case? Is this something we can purchase or what?

That is probably more the antenna than the Sync 3 head unit.

Hi clandons & Speedfreak400,

HD radio has to be added when the vehicle is built. It's not available as an aftermarket installation.

Ahh, bummer. Well that's not cool.

Thanks for your quick response.

I have HD Radio on my Sync 2. What am I missing? I don't think it sounds any better than normal FM. In fact it might sound a bit muted. I turned mine off.
