Just to confirm re: HD Radio

I see no indication on IDrive regarding having HD radio (not referring to satellite radio). I've looked on website as if ordering a new car and see no HD radio option w/Entertainment package.

So, am I right on this?

When scrolling through the station lists, you see the HD sub-channels

I looked and do not see any HD radio substations. I did confirm from hdradio.com which stations to look at. Any thoughts? If you have it, can you show me a screen shot of HD radio?

i believe there is a setting to turn HD radio on/off... maybe yours is switched off... try hitting the options button while on the list of stations and see whats in there.

Ok. Got it. Did not realize until now what the "Option" button below IDrive dial is for.

1) select fm
2) press option button located below IDrive dial.
3) scroll to option for HD radio.

Lowest amount of digital compressed music HD Radio, best of ALL sources of music we could possibly play in our cars, since low compressed digital, best possible sound. HD AM also amazing. Digital is always completely in or completely not.

PS Sirius is the worst, super high compression of left and right channels of 146 tuneable channels. Yuuuuuk! Until they figure out a way to send us specific programming this will always be the worst, why do we need all their channels at once, when we can only listen to one at a time.

Thanks for this! Just got an F80 and wasn’t seeing the HD channel my 428i had.

Got my 80s channel back!
