Question about digital radios?
I would like to know if there is a digital tuner that can be placed in line with the existing factory radio for cars. I have had a number of clients ask about this and I have been unable to locate any information on the subject other then the FCC and why they want digital signals. If someone has information on where I can get in line receivers or what can be done let me know. many of my clients don't like the idea or removing the old radio to install an after market. a lot of it has to do with the controls on the dash and steering wheels. Thanks for you help.

There is no way to add a digital tuner in line with an existing tuner. Actually most stereos made in the last 15-20 years are all digital and for steering wheel/dash controls to work they have to be digital to begin with. If steering wheel/dash control is the only issue then there are interfaces available to adapt factory steering wheel/dash controls to work on most major brand aftermarket units that have remote capability. They are not for the do it yourself type person as they can be tricky to install and program at times but they work well. I have installed several of them.
If you are referring to HD radio (HD=High Definition, not to be confused with Digital) then HD tuners can be added to almost any existing stereo.
