Audi of America always strives to deliver the latest in digitally enhanced audio, extra programming and advanced data services, and soon, its 2011 models will have the HD Radio Technology as a standard feature. About 85% of Americans have access to HD Radio Technology due to its more than 2,000 HD Radio stations on the air, and 1,100+ new HD2/HD3 Channels (FM multicast). In addition, the digital platform offers fresh, creative programming on HD2/HD3 Channels, with CD-quality sound on FM and FM-stereo quality sound on AM. Models that will offer this feature include the A6, A8 and Q7. HD Radio Technology will also be available via the optional navigation radio in the 2011 A4, A5 and Q5 models.
By fall 2010, we can expect that all these models will be available at US Audi dealerships.
