If you bought it new and it has less than 36k it’s under warranty. If not, take it to a Ford dealer or car audio shop. ---

HD is a digital signal rather than analog. It allows one station to have multiple “channels,” say, news, jazz, classical, rock, etc. And yes, sound quality is better. My wife listens to the local NPR station on an HD radio that was a gift from me.
