 2020 RTL, No AM Radio?
Just found out that I can't find AM, guess it isn't there, FM is there and works fine. No big issue I suppose.
-
AM still exists?

Talk radio exists, it's all part of cultural media, you know, similar to TV news. Yep, I will miss it, but I can live without it. I simply posted that I noticed it was missing, I thought it was odd, first vehicle I ever purchased with no AM radio, I do notice there is FM.

On the motorcycle, I always listen to MP3s anyway.
If it ain't broke, don't break it.

The downside...no more talk radio. 
There is talk radio on FM, just not many.

Gotta agree with you on that Traveler, lovin' those country classics, play them on my harmonica oh yeah. Mp3 is my friend. I'm am aware that AM/FM has it's limitations, like running out of range. As my original post, it is no biggie on my 2020, I was just surprised it was not there.

In the parts of the country I have toured, road alerts are broadcast on the AM band. Set up by local DOTs with a limited range. I found them useful..... Jim

Has the weather band also been deleted?

IHeartRadio for your AM stations. Much better anyways
-
Guess I could do that app and blue tooth it.
-
Is there a external Am radio that can be plugged into the USB? Not suggesting a app that can use Data. But a small receiver that can be used versus an APP.

There is an Auxiliary Audio input in the Glovebox. You could plug in a portable tuner and you would be in business.

It would play through either. You select the output in the screen or the keypad below the key. Pick your poison!
