iTunes tagging
This feature is common to both HD Radio and
SiriusXM® Satellite radio*. See the section"iTunes tagging" in the article "SiriusXM satelliteradio settings" for more detailed information.
Ball game mode
This feature means that a main FM station (HD1)will broadcast live events, where the content ofthe programming is more important than soundquality, in analog mode only to help prevent thedelay between analog and digital broadcasting.The HD Radio symbol will be white during livebroadcasts and "Live" will be displayed next tothe symbol.
Benefits of digital broadcasting
•Better sound (FM sounds near CD quality).
•Some FM frequencies offer a greater num-ber of listening choices through “multicast-ing” (consisting of a frequency's main chan-nel and any sub-channels that may also beavailable on that particular frequency.)
•When receiving a digital signal there is nomultipath disturbance or hisses/pops/crack-ling due to outside influences.
How HD Radio ™ Technology
broadcasting works
HD Radio works similarly to conventional radioand broadcasts of this type are available in manyareas of the United States. However, there are afew key differences:
•Instead of transmitting one analogue signal,stations send out a bundled signal – bothanalogue and digital.
•An HD Radio receiver can receive both digi-tal and analogue broadcasts. Depending onthe terrain and location of the vehicle (whichwill influence the signal strength), thereceiver will determine which signal toreceive.

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 driv-ing through areas with weak HD signals (fringeareas), you may experience that the radio repeat-edly switches between analogue/digital and digi-tal/analogue reception. If this happens, it may bedesirable to switch HD off.
To do so:
1. Be sure the infotainment system is switchedon and in FM mode.
2. To access the settings menu from the centerdisplay's Home view, pull down Top view andtap FM radio.
Go to Adjust settings for media.
3.Tap the or FM HD Radio box to select/deselect this function.
This will disable the radio's capability to receivedigital broadcasts but it will continue to functionas a conventional (analogue) FM receiver. Pleasenote that when HD is switched off, it will not bepossible to tune to sub-channels (see the article"HD Radio subchannels" for a more detailedexplanation of sub-channels).
Please note that this will only switch HD Radioon or off (selecting or deselecting the function)only affects the selected waveband.
