It's got nothing to do with where I live. I'm just saying. Check around
- ask Millennials if they use the radio or stream or just play their own
music.

I don't know about where you live, but around here, there are many
places in
cities and towns where the mobile signals are irregular enough to make
IP
service hit-and-miss. AM and FM reception are still more reliable.
I suppose streaming could be done tolerably well, if the player had a
huge
buffer. You'd probably still lose it going through tunnels, unless the
tunnels had mobile repeaters.
Don't forget the substantial bandwidth cost (in $$$). The fact that
mobile
access is rolled into the purchase price of your EV so the manufacturer
can
keep tabs on you (EV ankle bracelet to complement your smartphone ankle
bracelet) doesn't mean that you're not paying for it.
All that said, I have to wonder about BMW. I don't see any excuse for
skimping on shielding. The FCC will probably have something to say
about
that. In fact I wonder if they might be risking interference with
emergency
vehicle radios. Not smart.
