The HD radio is built in. When you tune to a HD ready station information is displayed about their HD choices. It's awesome.

The component HD is better, however, you can use them.. they just won't be heard only by you. those around you will hear it too.

HD Radio is a separate input so only works if you specifically choose HD. the radio default to what ever you were listening to last

I have the complete unit... you need a backbone for the network, a sirius antenna for thw eather and sat radio module, then to listen to it u need the marine radio package. I have the whole unit, plus EVERYTHING all connected and working, never installed on a boat, used only once on a test run and im selling all of it complete... still have the boxes and paperwork even. Email me Joe.dip75@gmail.com it is great, i just dont get out enough to justify having 5 grand worth of electronics suite.

The only difference is HD radio and I listen to to bluetooth so I saw no need for it.

Hello, The unit is ready for TV Tuner and Navigation. This means it does not have built-in, but can be added.

No, you really don't need any brains to use this unit. BTW, its pretty well built and designed. The only thing you need to do in the HDSDR application, if that is what you use, is to set the 125 MHz offset. That is under "OPTIONS" and then "RF FRONT-END". Other than that, it needs antenna in, output to dongle, and powered by USB so you'll need an extra USB port (or separate wall wart). It's that simple.Dave - W0LEV

No it does not have a hd. How ever with the blue tooth link from my cellphone I never listen to the radio anymore. I get in the car and my phone links up as soo as I turn the key and just play pandora or the music off my phone. Its worth the price.

Antenna is an Antenna. Some work better than others and that is the only difference. There is no such thing as a HD antenna. I suggest you upgrade your TV, instead of buying a digital converter. Come out of the stone age.

Mine is on order! I can chime in by next weekend. I purchased the HD Tuner, the Sirius adapter + Sirius Connect, and the iPod cable. These Amazon prices are amazing for this gear. I have a 5th gen iPod (80gb) that I plan on using with this. One question I will be looking for is the Nav input. I guess it will show GPS info from an external unit but the info is scarce... only mentioned in the manual.

you can purchase the complete unit if that is what you need. i only needed the head unit that replace the old style one that got in a fight with a nasty tree limb. reception wise, you wont go wrong with this purchase

Yes, it has Built-in Bluetooth READY. It is actually a great dash-in radio, i would recommend it.

It is built in to unit...but also there is a connection where you can connect an external antenna should you wish to use it with one......Great unit.....don't waste your money on their enhanced map that is suppose to look like satellite imagery.... total waste.
