Mitsubishi Motors has announced it will become the first automaker to integrate audio entertainment and real-time traffic services using HD Radio Technology. The 2014 Outlander will be the first Mitsubishi vehicle to receive both real-time traffic information integrated into its navigation system as well as the upgraded audio and expanded content and features of digital AM and FM broadcasts, all delivered with HD Radio Technology.

HD Radio Technology is subscription free broadcast radio.
