HD goes into more luxury cars!
Nick Name
HD radios will be factory-installed standard equipment in luxury cars
made by AUDI, BMW, JAGUAR, MERCEDES, ROLLS-ROYCE and VOLVO,
representing more than 25 vehicle lines.
"HD radio technology benefits are what the
performance luxury class is all about -- an in-car experience that
surpasses all expectations." "AUDI, BMW, JAGUAR, MERCEDES, ROLLS-
ROYCE and VOLVO are innovation leaders, and we are delighted that HD
Radio Technology is integral to the advanced in-dash entertainment
systems that drivers demand today."
HD Radio Farce
"Radio’s Revenue Falls Even as Audience Grows"
"And automakers, which have other problems, are not embracing the
technology; so far, only Volvo is offering HD Radio as a standard
feature in its new cars (it is standard in all but one of its 2009
models). HD radio is pretty much going to be nonexistent, because they
can’t figure out how to get the auto guys to include that as an
option, and the auto guys that do include HD don’t let the consumers
know about it, Ms. Ryvicker of Wachovia Capital Markets said. It’s
been a horribly marketed product that’s not going to save the radio
industry."
"DEAD AIR: Radio’s Great Leap Forward stalling in the Valley"
"Nearly two years after the Valley’s four Clear Channel stations went
HD, several high-end car manufacturers have promised to offer HD
radios as an option on new models. But while Ford announced in
September that it offers the radios as dealer-installed upgrades — as
have Mini, Volvo, Jaguar and BMW — local Ford and Lincoln dealers had
not heard of HD and said they don’t offer the option."
That's kinda like what Ford said back in 2007, but HD Radio never
materialized, and Ford is even an investor in iNiquity. Perhaps, these
"announcements" are props from Struble to satify his barking investors.
