Switching HD Radio on and off

The factory setting for HD Radio is off.

Switching HD on or off

When listening to an HD Radio station and driving through areas with weak HD signals (fringe areas), you may experience that the radio repeatedly switches between analogue/digital and digital/analogue reception. If this happens, it may be desirable to switch HD off.

To do so:

Be sure the infotainment system is switched on and in AM or FM mode.

To access the settings menu from the center display's Home view, pull down Top view and tap AM/FM Radio.

Go to Adjust settings for media.

Tap the AM HD Radio or FM HD Radio box to select/deselect this function.

This will disable the radio's capability to receive digital broadcasts but it will continue to function as a conventional (analogue) AM/FM receiver. Please note that when HD is switched off, it will not be possible to tune to sub-channels (see the article "HD Radio subchannels" for a more detailed explanation of sub-channels).

Please note that this will only switch HD Radio on or off (selecting or deselecting the function) only affects the selected waveband.
