Car Radios

[malana-3]

What wil be the situation when radio analog signals are replaced with digital. Will there be conversion kits or will existing car radios be useless?

There is no confirmed plans to totally switch over to digital radio at this time.

But, if a total switch to digital radio ever was made then existing car radios would no longer work and would need to be replaced or a separate tuner unit would be required to be plugged into any input on the current stereos.

Speculation is that the switchover date may be 2015 - but this could change.

Well before then car manufacturesrs will have introduced digital eqipment. But as Chuck says all current analogue radios will become defunct at changeover.
