Ok...I know this isn't the answer you are probably looking for...but car radios even to this day are not standard in ALL new cars. Some cars...especially some sports cars come without radios to keep weight at a minimum....I know that for a long time, Lotus has never fitted car radios...which must hack off buyers a bit when they spend so much on a car, you know? Whether or not they still don't include them, I can't answer. But they are by far from alone in that practice.
