About HD Radio™

Your vehicle is equipped with a special radio receiver that can receive digital broadcasts of local AM/FM stations and analog broadcasts. Many stations broadcast a digital signal that may contain additional features not found in an analog signal. For more information, visit www.HDRadio.com.

HD Radio Technology manufactured under license from iBiquity Digital Corporation. U.S. and Foreign Patents. For patents, see http://dts.com/patents. HD Radio and the HD, HD Radio, and “ARC” logos are registered trademarks or trademarks of iBiquity Digital Corporation in the United States and/or other countries.

Lucid and iBiquity Digital Corp are not responsible for the content sent using HD Radio™ technology. Content may be changed, added or deleted at any time at the station owner's discretion.

Using the AM/FM Radio application

Launch the AM/FM Radio application from the Right Cockpit Panel. Tap the Media icon  > AM/FM Radio via the launcher menu, then select AM/FM from the Smart Drawer.

You can select the desired category of radio stations from the main menu.

On the Right Cockpit Panel, press > AM/FM Radio. The selected media will display with player controls.

  • Press the Favorites icon to add the current station to your Favorites list. The icon will turn solid when a station is added.
  • The icon will highlight when you are listening to an HD Radio station. Tap a channel number to switch stations.

HD Radio stations have a multicast indicator, (1 2 3….) and will appear if the current station has multiple digital broadcasts. Repeatedly press Seek Up or Down button to access the other digital broadcasts or tap a channel number to switch stations. The numbers that are highlighted signify available digital channels where new/different content is available. HD1 will signify the main programming service and is available in analog and digital broadcasts. Any additional multicast stations (HD2–HD8) are only broadcast digitally.

HD Radio Reception Factors

Reception Area: If you are listening to a multicast, (HD2, HD3, etc.), station and are on the fringe of the reception area, the station may mute due to weak signal strength. If you are listening to HD1, the system will simply switch to the analog broadcast, until the digital broadcast is available again.

However, if you are listening to any of the possible multicast, (HD2–HD8), channels, the station will mute and stay muted unless it is able to connect to the digital signal again. The “swirl” icon will appear for a few seconds while in this state. If it is unable to reconnect to the digital signal, then the screen will be cleared and the text, "Station Unavailable," will appear in artist and title field area.

Station Blending: When a HD1 station is received, the system will play the analog audio broadcast from the station for a few seconds. If the receiver verifies that the station is an HD Radio station, it will transition to play the digital audio broadcast. You may hear a slight sound change when the station transitions from analog to the digital broadcast. The shift from analog to digital or digital back to analog sound is known as "blending," depending on the station quality.

Station Issues: A contact form has been developed to report any station issues found while listening to a station broadcasting with HD Radio technology to provide the best possible experience. Every station is independently owned and operated. These stations are responsible for ensuring all audio streams and data fields are accurate. The form can be found at: https://hdradio.com/stations/feedback/
