Crutchfield and the HD Digital Radio Alliance (great name guys, seriously, very impressive) have taken the wraps off of the first-ever retail availability of a car radio add-on that turns your existing car radio into an HD Radio.

Radio Ink seems to call this thing the "HD Car Connect Radio" from Directed Electronics, but everywhere else I see it labeled very eloquently as the Directed Electronics DMHD-1000.

Either way, it's HD Radio's the first device to allow consumers to keep their existing car stereos while gaining access to HD Radio stations. It's essentially a universal add-on HD Radio tuner, similar to the XM Commander MT.

The Directed Electronics DMHD-1000 MSRP's for a mere $199.99. Check out an in-person photo from CES after the jump...
