Every time I get in a car without Bluetooth or an aux and have to listen to the radio, I'm quickly reminded that I'd actually prefer to listen to road noise than ads and turn it off.

My phone has an FM radio.
I've listened to it in long international flights just to see how things change.
other than that it serves no purpose whatsoever.
I suppose it could be useful in an emergency but I'd bet just having cell seryqould fair better.
FM was switched off in 2017 (Norway), but a DAB chip would've been nice.
