Beware. That $50 rebate has a condition that says : This offer is only valid on new HD Radio receivers, tuners or adapters purchased from a retailer for $51 or more.
I don't understand how they plan to let you have it FAR.
One must watch Fry's when they make these FAR claims. I was there for a sale in spring of last year, and had to point out to the department manager that there were several software titles on a table advertised as "free after rebate" that were contingent on upgrade rebates, etc. - not strictly FAR. I would be hesitant to make this purchase unless I got them to adjust the price up to $51.xx, or got the manager's business card with his initials, assuring payment of the rebate by the store if it's declined because of pricing.

For those without a Fry's nearby - it's $30 AR at Frys website. Rebate form clearly stipulates $51 or more purchase price, but doesn't specifically exclude sales tax - so that could be the way Fry's is making the rebate work.
you can probably tell the manager to charge you $51 for it just to make sure you get the rebate
no need for hd radio, ur car's radio aint gonna sound that much better unless you drive a luxury vehicle w/ premium sound sys
do they automatically adjust prices for instore pickup like CC

true, but with HD radio you can get a lot more channel and most are commercial free.

What a useless post! You don't know what car he's got and YES, the system will sound better. So nobody should buy a better anything for their car because YOU don't have a luxury vehicle?

No, I believe he is correct. A radio station is allocated a certain frequency range by the FCC
in which to broadcast, and it will hold one analog channel. But with digital radio, they can
fit more than one channel in their frequency slot. For example, WAMU in Wash DC has one
analog channel (News). But with an HD radio, you can pick up the digital channels, so
you also get WAMU-2 (Bluegrass channel) and WAMU-3 (BBC, NPR, WTMD). With an analog radio,
you get one broadcast, but with an HD radio you get three. (All three channels are at 88.5 FM.)
I believe they were making channels commercial free to encourage adoption of the tech.
HTH

Got one. Not sure what to do with it. Looks like it would be an invitation to thieves to break in. Also, for those of you in CA, the head unit is designed to sit in a windsheild mount (supplied)... and we know what your state gov. has to say about those!
Never mind. Two people typed faster than I did.
thanks
