I’ve been renting a friend’s car the last few months.   I’m always curious as to a car’s sound system.   

Since I didn’t want to install my portable SiriusXM radio, I just moved my subscription to his car radio.  I don’t get all the channels (stations) on my friend’s car that I do on my portable SiriusXM radio.   The car is a 2015.   I’m just looking for my own car now.    If I buy a 2022 with satellite radio, will the car radio have a SiriusXM radio that’s a better model than the one in 2015?    When I swapped my subscription onto the 2015 car, the SiriusXM’s channels weren’t as many as the portable radio’s.        Any way I will know what channels that radio model will receive before I spend $35 to move them over?

I’m also really loving HD Radio.,,,I especially love listening to the AM radio stations available as HD stations on their FM sister stations.    My favourite is Zoomer Radio on 96.3 HD2.   Great hearing oldies in stereo!

Are there CRTC regs for HD stations that aren’t already available on FM?    Does a station have to apply to the CRTC to add an HD station to their current FM station.   

I can’t tell the difference between FM and HD just like I can’t see the difference between HDTV and 4KTV.

Have a go at these questions.   Thank you
