This vehicle has a terrible radio in it. Thank God it has a CD player, although I keep forgetting to take one out. I swear they picked this radio out at the dollar store or something, or Ford paid like 100 dollars to the Chinese for thousands of radios. It doesn't show a digital display of the stations so you are just shooting blind when you are looking there. The antenna is no good either, because you have to be practically on top of a station to get it. Just now all I could get was a Christian rock station, not the worse thing to listen to, but it has eliminated choices. I will have to look at the manual, maybe there is something I am not getting with this..but I don't think so.

@snowy22315 So do I. I can get one NPR jazz station on my car radio. I wish I could get classical music instead.

@sallypup Geez, that is kinda lame. I like classical music, but would not like either jazz or classical to be my only options. Christian rock is fine, but it isn't my preferred.

Maybe. It isn't that it doesn't play, just not something I prefer to listen to.

@snowy22315 It reminds me of a little black car that my husband drove.
A few years after buying it the compressor went on the air conditioner.
He didn't find it a problem, because his commute was in the country and he likes to drive with his windows down, but when I inherited the vehicle, in its final year or two of life, I need my a/c and especially in a black car. It was traded in after the first hot summer that I had to drive it.

I can't use the car radio that much because there are parts that has no signal. Instead, I would use a USB Flash Drive with stored music in it. Yeah, the manual might have the information you need. Or you can ask the dealer about it.

Our latest car didn't have a CD player. Apparently we're supposed to use our phones for any music we might like.
