2012 Camry getting HD Radio

[tomservo]

Although the press release doesn't specify what trim lines or radio models it's included on, the iBiquity people are touting that 2012 Camrys will have HD radio in them, starting this fall.

This ought to be interesting… if it goes in a standard radio we'll see if the world's most thoroughly average customers will create a huge "my radio is broken" backlash; if it only shows up in the Entune high end system, it'll be buried in a menu somewhere and we'll see if anyone even notices.

It certainly won't be 'standard' on all (or even most) Camrys. The question is whether it will be included as part of the top trim level or if it is merely an optional radio. If it's the former, a few of them might actually get out there; if it's the latter, few will see the light of day.

It sounds like HD dropout complaints may go up if it installed on one of the best selling cars.
