Default No HD radio?

is anyone else missing the HD Radio button? Everything i've read online says it should be there, but it has never been on mine. I didn't even know I was supposed to have it until a friend rode with me and mentioned it. Every picture i see online shows it in the top right corner.

Same ones that are in the '15s, the limp sounded Sony. For their "premium" sound system, it blows, as I have read on this forum.

You must be in the Memphis area. Those are nearly the same presets I have.

Not on my 2016 Sync 3 Sony system.
Same here, with a caveat.

Following my Sig advice, I read the Sync 3 manual, starting at page 29 for several pages, and then continuing on page 77.

Seems clear as mud to me. I think that if you have Sync 3 you have HD Radio, but I'm not sure.

First, the Sync 3 book does not mention needing the Sony system for HD, unless I missed it. But, it does mention that HD is not available everywhere, so if Sync does not see HD, no buttons. Maybe.

So I'll let you audiophiles read the Sync book, tell us what you think.

Me, I went to every menu I could find on the truck, no mention of HD.

The same applies to the 2016 Sync 3 needing the Sony audio upgrade for HD. The non-Sony Sync 3 does not have HD.

I read the instructions and what I gathered was that there should be an HD button active in my area, but it is not. My previous 2 vehicles had HD active. All it takes is a radio station to broadcast in HD and the HD button should be active.
