How do you like that HD radio? I've been thinking about upgrading, but I listen to my iPod in the Jeep more than I do the radio.
I love the HD radio. The only problem with it is range, which is about 30 miles from the transmitter. I live about 30 miles outside downtown Chicago, and the HD signal starts to go in and out a few blocks from my house (although it's steady while sitting in the driveway). I drive into the city every day, so the weak signal is only an annoyance for a few minutes after I leave home in the morning, and a few minutes just before I get home at night. I'm hoping the stations will find a way to boost their signal strength once HD radios become more common. As far as sound quality, the difference is night/day, especially on the AM band. It's also nice to have 2x more station choices, as all major stations broadcast a second (commercial-free) station on the digital band.
Oh, and I have an iPod adapter for my radio (both are JVC). When my iPod is connected to the adapter (in the glove box), I can control the iPod though the radio (which even has a remote), plus the iPod is always charging. The radio and adapter can be had online for < $200.
