2025 Lariat, HD radio, is it working for anyone?

[Shock96]

So I like listening to the radio, and especially the HD stations.

I turned on the switch that says AM HD Radio, but for some reason I am not pulling in any HD radio signals.

My BMW and Flex both have HD radio and they work just fine.

I did drive into Seattle the other day where HD signals should be strong and still nothing.

Does anyone have any insights?

Mine is a 22, but I get HD radio just fine.

Hmmm. Is there anything to look for on the screen on the 2025? I just get no indication it is even seeking or acquiring the signal. The Flex does show it.

If you're trying to pull in an AM HD station (which, I believe, are quite rare to have an AM HD station), I'd first check your local stations websites to see if they even do AM HD radio. It's possible that no stations in your area do AM HD.

SWITCHING DIGITAL RADIO RECEPTION ON AND OFF
1. From the settings menu, press Radio.
2. Switch HD Radio on or off

Right! So I did go to the menu selection like @Bigbw said and I turned it on. It says AM HD Radio, which I have never seen before like @Milwrdfan said.

How do I find out about the FM HD Radio which is all over our area?

be sure you have selected FM as your source.. if you have selected AM, it asks if you want to turn AM HD on, if you select FM, it asks if you want to turn on FM HD, I just tried it my mav and that is how mine worked..

AHHHH! Ok, I am going to run out and try that now. I can't remember if I had it set to AM or FM.

EDIT - That was it! FM HD Radio was switched off. Turned it on and there all of them were.

Thanks a bunch @Bigbw! It has been driving me nutz!

LOL confirming as others have - we do in fact have HD radio.

Hehe, works like a champ as well. I have been driving around town and zero drop outs. Best HD radio reception of all our cars. A+!

Central Ohio has dropped a lot of HD stations recently but still a nice spread.
I will say I don’t notice much of a clarity and sound quality difference with HD v non HD with the b&o. The difference is stark in my Hondas and Subarus. Regardless very happy to have that enabled. Would have never thought to check general setting for radio to enable that. Come on Ford.
