Ford Goes Digital (HD Digital Radio, that is)

Ford just became the first automaker to make HD Digital Radio available across multiple product lines. The dealer-installed high-definition radio option is available on nearly all 2008 Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles. Also, HD Digital Radio can be installed on many earlier models from 2005, 2006 and 2007.

What is HD Radio? HD Digital Radio increases the sound quality of radio broadcasts and enables more than one radio broadcast on a single channel. As a result, you hear a wide range of new HD2 multicast stations as well your favorite radio stations with no monthly subscription fee. More than 1500 radio stations in the U.S. currently broadcast in HD digital sound, with more than 600 stations also airing HD2 multicasts.
