HD Radio ???!!!

brent3 · 05-17-2006, 01:33 PM

Just took delivery of my new 330i sport, premium, cold weather, comfort access, navi/idrive, & Sirius. Reading through the owners manual, I find an option for HD radio. It says it should have a menu item on the idrive screen. I never saw an option for this on the order sheets or on this site. I called BMW and they said it is only availible for the m5, m6 and 07' 5er's. Is this availible in Canada or anywhere else? Can we get a module or update of software to make the HD work? Thanks for reading!!!

It's not available yet but I believe they will are working it in. In any event, HD radio would certainly require additional hardware and programming...

The hardware appears to have been made, but for some reason they are not offering it on the E90 yet

It is just a little annoying that it is in the owners manual, like it is an option. I wonder, really what it would take to adapt to this function?
