- driverdan 5y agoI downvoted you because very few phones have AM and/or FM receivers. I've never owned a phone with one. None of the most popular phones have had them.
- hereforphone 5y agoI assume you're talking about streaming the station over the Internet
- hutzlibu 5y agoNo he or she is not, a radio receiver is not such a high tech after all and I think all of my mobile phones had or have that feature build in, even though I never used it (in some you would have to have earphones plugged in as a antenna)
- thepasswordis 5y agoDo you live in the American Midwest?

- mmcgaha 5y agoI haven't had a phone with built in radio, but back in the late 0s I had an ipod with a built in FM radio, and it was the coolest radio I ever had. You could pause and rewind it like a tivo. I assume the radio on a smart phone would be about the same.
- readflaggedcomm 5y agoNot all, not even most from the listings I looked at a few years ago. Only one of the three old Android phones I have supports it, and it's one without a recognizable brand (the other two are Samsung and LG).
- themark 5y agoCan you do this on an iPhone? The first time I was in a Tesla, my initial thought was why can’t my phone tune into FM Radio.
- jazzyjackson 5y agowow TIL Teslas don’t come standard with a radio, who do they think they are, Lotus? ;-)
- speedgoose 5y agoI'm not sure it's what he said. Mine has a radio.
- jazzyjackson 5y agowow look at this guy, got the upgraded entertainment package with AM/FM radio! (I kid, seems to be something that changes with the model year)
- speedgoose 5y agoIt has a DAB radio too! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Audio_Broadcasting https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Audio_Broadcasting
- kevin_thibedeau 5y agoFirst step is to plug in headphones to serve as an antenna. Then you're all set.
- BeetleB 5y agoNot true for all phones. I know I checked with at least one of my older phones (a Samsung Galaxy) and it could not do radio. Edit: Checked: My current phone doesn't support radio as well.
