According to this thread, all Fords should come with a HD digital radio. I bought a new Fiesta, which was built in 2009 or 2010 (certainly very recent), and... um.... the radio isn't digital. It only picks up analogue FM and AM. What gives?

    I think by Nationwide, they mean America.

    Why do we need to get rid of FM anyway? It aint broke, why bin it?

    HD Radio is the US only system for broadcasting digital alongside analogue. It's much better quality and cheaper to implement than the huge !Removed!-up that is DAB.
