I can find one made by Audiovox.
AudioVox IHDP01A Portable HD/FM Radio Player with Belt Clip and Armband https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C..._api_i_KilmFbPCAFY0E

We have a really good station here locally that of course is on the HD 2 band. Our Tundra and Suburban pick it up just fine as the are HD radios.
The company Tahoe on the other hand is not. I’d like to be able to listen to this station while in the company car.
I have aN AUX input and figured an HD portable would be the way to go. Turns out me and maybe 2 other people in the world think this is a good idea considering they pretty much don’t exist.

The Microsoft Zune HD has a built in HD radio receiver. While they are no longer supported, it is an option for you. It is also an mp3 player that needs headphones or wired earbuds or an 1/8" cable to plug into an Audi port on a radio.

You might find a cheaper 'takeoff' stock toyota radio with HD that someone barely or never used before replacing with aftermarket. That would likely just plug right in. It might need to be 'coded' to work with your older Tundra by a dealer. Or maybe not, there are plenty of older radios with HD built in.

Does the station stream over the internet such that you can get it on your phone and play in the car via Bluetooth or the aux jack?

Are they online, by any chance? If so, could use your mobile phone and connect the phone to your Aux.

Running 10 hours a day 4 days a week would gobble up data. 2nd I would have to have my phone plugged in both for power and AUX as there is not a chance in the world I am connecting my personal phone to anything owned by my employer.
Also there are many times where I have to make a quick exit from the vehicle and generally like to have my phone on my person.

I am not opposed to getting the little Audiovox as it is exactly what I am looking for. Just was surprised there weren’t more options.

Insignia had an HD radio - now appears discontinued, and the one available is the same price as the Audiovox.

Found the Audiovox at another site at less than $60. I have no experience with that vendor.
