HD Radio Reception and Station Troubleshooting
Potential reception issues
If you are listening to a multicast station and you are on the
fringe of the reception area, the station may mute due to
weak signal strength.
Reception area
If you are listening to HD1, the system changes back to the
analog broadcast until the digital broadcast is available again.
However, if you are listening to any of the possible HD2-HD7
multicast channels, the station mutes and stays muted unless
it is able to connect to the digital signal again.
When the system first receives a station (aside from HD2-
HD7 multicast stations), it first plays the station in the analog
version. Once the receiver verifies the station is an HD Radio
station, it shifts to the digital version. Depending on the station
quality, you may hear a slight sound change when the station
changes from analog to digital. Blending is the shift from
analog to digital sound or digital back to analog sound.
Station blending
In order to provide the best possible
experience, use the contact form to report
any station issues found while listening to
a station broadcasting with HD Radio
technology. Independent entities own and
operate each station. These stations are
responsible for ensuring all audio streams
and data fields are accurate. Potential station issues

Privacy Notice for GPS Mapping with
MyFord
MyFord allows for GPS mapping when a
vehicle is registered to a MyFord Mobile
account. To remove the vehicle from the
account, thereby removing GPS mapping
ability, a Master Reset can be performed

Settings (page 412).
Before transferring ownership of a vehicle,
owners may choose to execute a Master
Reset or Factory Reset (completed via the
MyFord Mobile website). Either method
removes the vehicle from all MyFord
Mobile accounts. It is recommended that new owners
conduct a Master Reset upon taking
possession of the vehicle to remove it from
any existing MyFord Mobile accounts. The
new owner can activate a MyFord Mobile
account by completing registration process
on the website.
