Any Automobile radio with XM & HD ?
I want to upgrade the radio in my 1996 Jetta.
I would like a radio with XM & HD. A CD player & input for an iPod would be a bonus.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Virtually any decent brand radio can be expanded with XM and HD - unless you want one with it built in (and don't want to spend extra on modules for it?)
See if this link works for you: http://www.crutchfield.com/g_300/Car...ner_Built%40in
If not, just do the "outfit my car" thing, and pick the options you want. It looks like you'll need a radio with HD radio built in, and an external XM Radio tuner.
The Pioneer Pioneer DEH-P5200HD appears to be a good pick.

Just make extra sure that they really have XM built in. Many of them are "XM Ready" or "XM compatible", and in some cases, it really looks like it is built in, but it will still need the extra module.
