Thread: HD Radio Cables READY!

Have you looked into RR and the tuner at all mitch?

Finally...I get decent radio again.

Thanks again mitch for all you hardwork on this.

Anyone else having a problem with config overwriting your hd radio settings everytime you save an config change?

I manually edit the rr.ini, but config overwrites as there is no option for HD radio in the config utility yet.....

Only when I Make a change and save though Config..............

*edit- nevermind, I was using an older version of config. Solved*

RR needs to keep track if the radio is playing or not, and know that when going to the screen.

It is especially annoying when I hear a song on the radio, and switch to the skin to see the title and such, and it tunes to another station!

I agree and believe this is in the RR code also. I know my HQCT had a ini file in the hqct directory in RR to save presets. I have great functionality with this tuner and RR so far, can tune really good signal and sounds great with no noise (yes i did your ground mod mitch )

Anyway I do think RR just needs some more coding to make this happen. It also seems that RR will lose communication with the tuner if I go 3 or more menus deep away from my HD skin. Only fix is to go to mp3 or vid, then back to HD which sets me back at 87.5.

I know the software will catch up soon This is the newest tuner available to RR so I did not expect it to be perfected just yet. I am going to be releasing my new skin very soon with the note that HD is still in beta. Hopefully we can get some more heads working on this to get it solved.

Yup.

It's all working now gents. My only issue I had was my INI files being re-written everytime I saved a Config. When I noticed there wasn't an hd radio selection in config it all clicked in what was wrong.
I must say, it seems pretty good so far. I've got it runing in the basement, 3 feet below grade, without an antenna and it's pretty much as as good as the radio shark with an antenna (and a clear sight line to the tower) that I was running before. Can't wait to get this puppy hooked up to an antenna and see what it'll do in the car!

Cheers

I just finished the install of my HD Radio Tuner, and boy can I tell you.....this THING rocks. It sounds way better then my BOSE Radio in the Envoy. (My other Car).
Here is a shot of it running in the car with all it's glory. The camera is crappy, I know.
I have also attatched the skin file with the code (If someone want's to play with it.
The SEL button cycles to the sub channels and when held down, it brings up the PRESET Menu.

just ordered my tuner on ebay, got it for $45 and just placed the order for the cable, i cant wait to get this working, radio is the only thing i miss about my old (regular) sound system. thanks for all the work everyone has put into getting this to work.
