Got best price at Amazon! Fairly easy to install took maybe an hour. Works great for local driving but if you travel a lot and want to replace satellite radio you maybe disappointed since you will constantly be looking for stations.

Select "HD" on your Sony head unit, and it will tune HD radio signals when available. Then, reverts automatically to analog signal without your messing with it.
AM radio is great...those nasally voices actually have baritone and a bit of bass. Music is passable. Radio ads are funny....they sound tinny and compressed when the advertiser hasn't re-recorded them.
FM radio is good enough to crank up without distortion rattling the speakers. Very nice having two stations on the HD transmissions. Oldies _without_ dozens of agonizing commercials about genuine copper re-pipe. (BTW...for you young DJs...Queen is _not_ an oldie.)
With my Sony head unit, I could hook this up along with one model of the iPod connector: Sony XA120IP iPOD Connector.

I wanted to upgrade to HD radio essential for two or three substations and the XT100 HD enables someone to do this if 1. You have a Sony deck 2. The deck has red and white audio in and Sony bus cable in 3. Access to the deck. I had already installed the cd deck myself so this was easy to plug in and go and my deck was not even on the list of approved decks but mine had all the connections it needed. It even has an audio in so you could hook up an iPod, Zune, or any mp3 player or audio device. Also the the sony bus allows the song titles and artist to scroll across the display, big thing for audiophiles. The only problem with the XT100 HD was it must be mounted outside of the deck area for lack of space but it comes with long enough cords to mount it in the trunk if you had too. Over all it does exactly what it was supposed to do without having to get a new deck, and I got at a great price well below the price of a $130 deck but only for the extra stations and song display because althought it sounds great not good enough just to upgrade ore existing stations, but they are improved.

It is too big to fit many locations, esp with all the cables sticking out. Works well, we do not have many HD stations in the area, but on a trip recently it picked up and held stations alot longer.

A great tuner that works well, but I wish it wasn't so big! It's almost as big as my radio! But it does the job, and now I have HD, and I love HD radio! I would recommend it, but make sure you have somewhere to stash it away in your car. Mine is under the carpet on the passenger side, and I don't even know it's there, so I guess all is good in the end.
