Xperi Holding Corporation announced that HD Radio technology, the most successfully deployed commercial digital radio system worldwide, has expanded into the motorbike category. HD Radio receivers are currently available on the digital dash display of the new 2022 BMW R 18 Transcontinental, which is the latest addition to the R 18 family. This marks another industry first for HD Radio technology, which recently announced it had entered the commercial truck category. HD Radio technology’s system for AM and FM radio stations broadcasts a digital signal over traditional radio frequencies, allowing for up to three additional channels of new audio programming. It elevates the in-vehicle infotainment experience with crystal clear, static-free sound, and on-screen information such as: album art, station logos, song and artist info, traffic, weather, and critical emergency alerts. The new R 18 Transcontinental combines the thrilling power of the "Big Boxer" with a classic chassis concept based on historical models, exclusive equipment, and a stylish design. It delivers beautiful styling, and new infotainment experiences with superb short-distance cruising and long-distance touring comfort and luxury.
