I assume it's in a menu on the screen?

I haven't used a car radio in a long time.

Everything is streamed in via mobile data.

I have maybe 3000 songs listed on Spotify, yet it still plays the same ones over and over.

Nothing has variety like radio…

PSA vans coming that way for basic spec now just a phone holder and Bluetooth connection provided. No radio

Bluetooth stream radio from your phone ?

My 2017 Peugeot partner van has a radio you can’t turn off 🤷🏻

I can mute it, but never turn it off.

I am fine with that, am sure it turns off with the keys

I would want a radio and buttons to change the station occasionally

Spotify is hateful if there is a few in the car, nothing worse then someone else's playlist

There are over 10,000 internet radio stations apparently.

You'd struggle to find a dozen here. DAB doesn't work (much) either!

FM radio is optimised for feeding you most ads in a time interval when you switching between stations. Sound quality has long been non existent. Only reason it is kept is it’s a broadcast and not dependent on internet infrastructure for some emergency and breaking news. If you want music in your car bring a usb stick with your playlist and enjoy it.

Sound quality has long been non existent? What in Christ are you on about? Radio stations spend thousands on transmission to make audio sound good. The problem is your speakers… It’s a business model generating revenue from ads and employing lots of people around the world, emergency broadcasting is not the primary function of radio whatsoever. What an ignorant post! 🤣

So I found the radio..!!

Just practiced my orchestral manouevers on the screen, completely random, and the radio stations just popped up.

Now they are up there all the time, on every screen. Just when I handed the car back.
