2011 Radio Upgrade

smithbro · 02-10-2017, 02:42 PM

I just bought my wife a new Subaru Outback and noticed the radio receives HD radio broadcasts on sidebands of our regular listening stations. The reception is phenomenal compared to the FM broadcast and satellite sucks in the mountains where we live. Does anyone out there know if I can upgrade (or replace) the radio in my 2011 335i for a similar type of receiver?

HD radio is something I can turn on, on my 2011 335Xi with Logic7 and iDrive, so I assume that if you do not have these a retrofit would be possible.

Its my understanding that all the US pro radio's already have
HD radio after 2009. The iboc receiver for HD is meant for cars
2006 an older .
If you want to do an aftermarket radio and you do not have the
Logic 7 sound system its possible to change it but it comes with
side effects.
