JVC has a new head unit with integrated HD radio, cd, and an AUX plug on front. KD-HDR 30.
Um, actually, the unit I bought doesn't use FM modulation to get the signal to the head unit. The antenna pass through is there so that the HD receiver can get the HD signal from the stock antenna without requiring you to install a second antenna. The actual HD radio audio signal output is done through L/R RCA jacks on the receiver which you then feed into your stock head unit via RCA in jacks or via a 1/8" AUX jack.

The problem with the aftermarket head units with integrated HD radio is that they aren't going to fit the dash design of the new Camaro. The add-on unit I bought allows me to keep the stock radio and add HD Radio to it.
