    AM radio being deleted from new vehicles is all over the news right now.

    I'll be picking up my new SR5 with the standard sound system in a few weeks.

    Will AM radio be included? Never thought I'd have to ask this question.

    Thanks!

    I don’t even think some of the brands got rid of it yet, just announced it is going away soon.

    I just heard today that Fjord decided not to do away with it, something about emergency messages still get broadcast on AM stations.

    If you want an AM radio, the Toyota dealer can pull the computer head-unit and install this:

    Screen Shot 2023-05-23 at 8.01.08 PM.jpg

    CDs can be "transmitted" by an attachment that plugs into your CD player, BT music player. Also allows plugging in iPhone, small MP3 players ...

    Just FYI, AM radios are starting to be phased out of cars due to the mass adoption of strong electric motors. Motors create magnetic fields around them and that field gets picked up on AM bands as a strong static through the radio. Genuinely makes the radio unlistenable.

    Manufacturers should drop XM from their radios

    Me too. Didn't realize until I had it home for a few days. Now I have a whole bunch of cd's I can't use. Too old to mess with other technology on my phone.
