My actual post content above, which you edited, was entirely accurate.

I have CarPlay. I don't use all that often. It is in nice to not be tethered to a phone every once in a while

My car has wireless CarPlay and I like it ... mainly because it gives me more listening choices. Whether they are "tethered to my phone" or tethered to some other source. Because, if I am enjoying what I am listening to by CarPlay, guess what? I can keep listening after I get out of my car. If I'm listening to the radio, I'm tethered to my car....

i have never EVER had any interest in local news or sports. ![Stick Out Tongue](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
whenever i accidentally or intentionally listen to or watch 'local news' i find it so worthless (accident on highway xx, weather, fire at house yy, weather, traffic, city council bickering over nothing, weather and traffic again) - complete waste of my time.
i see what you did there.![Stick Out Tongue](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
i don't think it's hate for having in the car... it's an evaluation of its very limited value vs other options.

You can't have options for every possible way everybody wants to interface with a car when you have limited resources and budgets for features that are available. You have to go in the direction of where technology and buyer preference is going...and thats towards using systems like CarPlay and Android Auto and other embedded streaming options. You don't have to use CarPlay either, modern cars have these apps built in and the availability of additional apps within the native system.
There are apps where you can listen to any radio station from anywhere in the country also...
Exactly

Streaming radio has some other advantages. Not only is the quality better, AM is close to unlistenable, you can pause the stream and pick up when you left off should you take a call or have to stop during an interesting broadcast. You can also listen to programming from earlier in the day or archived programming from other days, and with some apps you can time shift by recording scheduled radio programming to your phone for later listening. You can also access programming from all over the world. As it happens, there's a lot of good radio content out there. And the vast majority of it isn't coming to you via your local AM stations...

And the saying is "I couldn't care less", if you "could care less" then you actually do care...and could in fact care less.

understood... if you have an android phone there's android auto which is very similar feature set. i don't currently have an iphone either.
sarcasm is probably not helpful here. ![Stick Out Tongue](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
got it. most local radio stations offer streaming, because they know tons of possible listeners won't bother with AM (and soon won't have it at all).
