Has it even been scheduled? I didn't think there was a plan yet for FM

they aren't as easily modded or replaced as TVs.

Some car radios are built into the dash (into the car's SYSTEM even) are
all but totally unreplacable !

One of mine is like that - a sort of double height unit where all the
minor controls and tape player are behind a flap above basically the radio
part. Much easier to use than fiddling through menus to find balance
controls etc. But you can buy adaptor plates to allow the use of a
standard radio.

Mine has an extra problem, which is that it displays channel, CD track
info etc remotely on the dash in front of me. I'm pretty sure that
would cease working if I substituted another radio. And of course it
has the CD changer at the back of the car. I'm certain that would mean
a heap of trouble.
