Word is auto makers are planning to stop including AM/FM radios in cars altogether within a very few years, replacing them with internet/bluetooth content “browsers”.

I’ve given up on AM/FM altogether, using a streaming “radio” app thru my iPhone and Bluetooth-based car stereo. Only exception is the occasional audiobook on CD, because it’s less hassle to play that on disc than transfer it to the “cloud” (IF it’s not already on the library’s streaming content app).

The AM radios in modern cars are definitely inferior to the old analog radios of decades past where you could tune with some finesse.

And a monthly subscription charge instead of free off the air broadcasts.
