HD Radio setting not staying on.

For some reason, my radio will not stay set to HD Radio mode on. This is a setting in the radio controls on the bottom left side. There is a check box to turn HD radio on or off. My radio will not hold "ON". It usually take a day or two, but it ultimately defaults back to "OFF". I have tried to explain this to the local dealer, but they don't seem to get it. They keep telling me it is working correctly, but it is not as I have two different year E series with the same radio and the older system never turns the HD off. Any tips on how I can get them to troubleshoot this?

I have the same issue. If I turn the HD ON it goes back OFF when I change the channel.

But not a biggie as I seldom listen FM and the HD reception is so bad it keeps jumping around between HD and regular reception so I don't even want to use HD..
