I've been wondering this for a long time but never got around to it since I mostly listen to Apple Music in my car. But when on an FM station that is HD and has multiple substations such as in the photo below, how to do get to the 2nd substation? Pressing to the right obviously doesn't work.

You have the FSport so it's a bit different than mine which is the non F- in mine, once you're tuned into an HD station that then has the sub HD stations, you can turn the TUNE **** to grab one of the subs and then you can also save it as a preset.

Very cool. Thanks for the quick response.

I bet you could also push and hold the preset button on the steering wheel up (till you hear a beep). That will seek up to the next station.

I will try over lunch and report back. This is important stuff we're dealing with.

Use a voice command: "Tune to 97.9 FM HD 2" It works great!

Great approach👍

HD is great stuff: If you see the HD icon in grey - they are broadcasting in HD, when it turns gold - you are receiving HD!
Have you tried turning the HD on and off while listening to an HD AM station? Goes from mud to crystal clear!
HD also is a source of updated information for both the Navigation Traffic (green/yellow/red corridors on the map) as well
as the Weather Channel forcast and map. Couple ways to bring up weather 1) console button Menu/Info/Weather or
cooler still 2) press steering wheel spoke button and say "show forecast" or "show weather forecast"

One thing I love about HD is that some AM stations actually broadcast on HD FM band so the sound quality is FM. HD AM is not quite that good.

Go to www.hdradio.com to check out the stations in your area.

Other than stations that simulcast such as Chicago AM780 HD and FM105.9 HD I did not
think that the AM HD stations are truly broadcasting on a different frequency band than
they are licensed to operate on.

Several in N.Y. metro area do. WCBS 880 AM broadcasts on WCBS FM HD2. That's just one example.

97.9 which is a hard rock station has it's HD 2 as a comedy station.

makes sense - many sub stations are different genres. In N.Y., 101.1 is CBS oldies, HD2 is CBS newradio 880 AM and HD3 is CBS Sports radio which is not broadcast anywhere else in this area. I love HD - so many options.

Marquvans, as you now know FM 97.9 is RIP... Lives on at 97.1 HD2! The comedy channel is however gone.
