HD tuner adapter??
Does anyone know of an adapter that can be added to an OEM Nav radio for the C6 that can make the radio an HD radio? I remember a few years ago Sony made an adapter for their radios to do this. I would like to have better sound without losing the Nav features in my HUD.

This is what I'm talking about, do you smart ones think something like this will work on our stock Nav units? This would allow better sound quality and add an amp and still keep the Nav unit working in the HUD.

That tuner is made to plug in to Sony radios that don't have HD built in, it can't be used on a stock nav radio.
Call Dennis at DoubleDmods.com, he posted this thread a few years ago. You may still be able to get the isimple and HDRT.

I know I can replace the radio for a better Quality sound but I don't want to give up my nav in the HUD. It's a shame that GM is always behind the 8 ball when it comes to radio technology.

Before you spend your cash, you might do a Google search on HD radio. It is pretty much an orphan/dead technology. In most places the only HD stations are college ones or PBS. and the range is very limited.

GM and possibly others might not want hd due to private interest but there a still quite a few stations in larger cities that have great content. I hope you're wrong,

There are many HD stations here in NC. From what I see most Major cities have HD radio stations.

I'm sure in the 2 1/2 years since he posted they have added a few additional HD stations.
