Technology Stocks : CDRD (CD Radio) -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

In short, nothing that has been reported in an 8-K. Perhaps that is the mystery news soon to come out that will cause the short squeeze?

Anyways, as far as reality is concerned, CDRD has stated it will license any manufacturor interested in producing its special receiver free of charge. And you are right, that is a long way from having someone show interest. Even further from a car manufacturor offering it in a new car. I can safely say the receiver technology is not free to produce. Anything that will add even $1 to the cost of a car is going to get intense scrutiny.

This is the proverbial chicken and egg problem that has been mentioned by CS & others a while back.

A couple months ago, I posted a summary of an article in a satellite enthusiast's magazine. Never met a space product they didn't like, and all that. At the time, "expressions of interest", but no committments. I took that to mean nada. However, the dealer will often install a washer/dryer in your trunk, if you want to pay, so insrtallation is not a problem. Look at the stacked CD players, for example.
