Default HD Radio Add On

I have a '07 Outie LS with the standard radio and I have added an ipod adaptor. Has anyone found a HD radio Add On that will work with this unit?

How did you add the iPod adaptor?

I was hoping to do this to mine, but wasn't sure if it was possible.

I doubt there is a way to add HD radio to the original headunit. Best thing to do is to buy an aftermarket double DIN radio that supports HD radio and has an iPod/USB port. They can be had for $200-300 easily for a high quality one.

Ok, I had a look at the radio and there is an HD Radio trademark icon on the base stereo (not SAT, which I have). However, I haven't found anything in terms of an adapter for the Lancer or Outlander (both share the exact same radios/NAV).
My guess is that Mitsubishi wanted to include it when they designed the stereo, but decided to backpedal from that decision.

Here is a picture, which I finally remember to take when I went to work:


So it does support HD Radio in theory. Interestingly enough, notice both SAT and XM are present on the screen. However, only SAT lights up when you use Sirius (I know they merged, but interesting nontheless). Also note "MD" and "LP" as well as some other ones that usually don't light up.

MD is for MiniDisc-equipped radios available in Japanese home market Outlanders.

Ah, thanks for the pic. Yeah, I knew what it was. I certainly hope LP isn't what I think it is, though :P
