Dearborn, Mich. — Ford is set to become the first automaker to offer a factory-installed HD radio option with iTunes tagging when it introduces the technology next year. This announcement follows a statement last week that the next-generation Ford Sync will essentially allow passengers to turn their vehicle into a rolling Wi-Fi hot spot by plugging a mobile modem or “air card” into the standard USB port.

Ford said that about 2,000 radio stations in the United States being broadcast in digital HD quality, with another 1.100 radio stations and HD2 channels HD3.

With the HD radio comes iTunes tagging capability. Through the Sync system, drivers will be able to simply press a button labeled “Tag” on the radio display, storing up to 100 songs heard over the radio in the receiver’s memory.Customers can connect an iPod to data synchronization system and receive a list of reproduction of these ‘labels’ songs appear automatically. You can then conveniently preview and buy all the music you want.

New additions “iTunes Tagging HD Radio technology and are strong to the growing collection of comfort and technology features of Ford, we offer our customers make driving more pleasant.This is another example of Ford’s commitment to bring the widest variety of factory-installed customer-focused technology, features and conveniences to millions of people,” said Mark Fields, Ford’s president of the Americas.

Next year, all Ford vehicles in 2011 will offer the standard radio, HD Radio,Sirius Satellite Radio and even Internet radio if you choose to set it up.

The system will automatically pick up HD signals and provide exclusive access to HD radio HD2/HD3 channels. These “mini-stations” or “sister” channels are found directly adjacent to the main channel on the dial, if they are available. Examples of these stations include a dedicated HD3 channel in Dallas to cover the Cowboys 24/7 and a similar HD2 station in Pittsburgh to cover the Penguins around the clock.
