    Oof I do this and don’t have Autism to my knowledge. The stimulus is somehow distracting and when you really need to focus it can be a problem!

      It’s not just you it’s very common. Listening to music actually uses a decent bit of brain power so turning it down frees up some of that

    This isn’t autism related. You turn it down to better focus

    Back in the day I had 4 15" subwoofers crammed into a Chevy Cavalier. You had to turn the radio down to see at all.

      There are an am/fm button and multiple memory buttons. So it could be the control panel for both?

        That is a BMW E46 Generation 3-Series with the “Business CD” audio option which does include an AM/FM radio tuner…

        …that being said you can clearly see it’s playing Track 11 of the CD…

        …that being said I think “Radio” is commonly used generically for many devices playing audio content.

          So they left out the receiver but kept the am fm button? They could have used a cover/ blind instead. Why wouldn’t they do that? We live in a strange world.

          Good eye.

          I was previously under the impression that a device must at least be able to receive radio programs in order to be called a radio. But English is not my first language, so I could be wrong.

          So yer ma could be right that it is indeed just a CD player?

            It does include a tuner…unless you’re making some distinction between “tuner” and “receiver” that I’m not catching on to?

            I think technically yes. But in common conversational English, it might be a bit blurry.

              No. I misread it. Sorry for the confusion. It all does make so much more sense now. :)
