Tom,
I don't know about your car radio. On my receiver, there is a button you
press to switch to HD1 or HD2 and some of the stations in Detroit a third
channel.
Near Grand Rapids, you should be able to get HD. I know for sure that
WOOD-FM has smooth jazz on their second channel, as I've occasionally gotten
it from Lansing.
