Adding HD Radio to stock head unit.

Adding HD Radio to stock head unit.
Anyone done this? There's a product called iSimple that is supposed to hook up to the base Scion radio (and many others) that adds an iPod interface (which we obviously don't need), and has an optional HD Radio receiver. Basically, it plugs in where the satellite receiver would go and emulates the satellite signal. All of the controls, including the steering wheel, will work to control the HD Radio. The display on the OEM radio will show all the program info. Radio presets will work, etc, etc. The installation is completely hidden.
Other than costing $250 ($150 for the base iSimple with iPod interface plus $100 for the HD receiver), it seems like a great add-on. I've had satellite radio and I'm not interested in having it ever again, so I don't mind losing that function. I would really love to have HD radio in the car. I'm thinking of taking the plunge!

not worth the money, i have HD radio and i cant stand it. quality is shotty at best, out of the 6 FM presets i have only 3 are offered in HD, and none of those 3 are always HD, they drop signal ALL the time.
HD is not worth the hype, yet.
i live in a fairly major market, Tampa Bay.
