car radio
Drive-time entertainment source
A car radio is a radio receiver built into an automobile's dashboard, used for listening to broadcast stations while driving.
The term often extends to the entire in-dash audio system, including CD players or digital interfaces: Someone broke into my car and stole the radio.
Turn up the car radio—I love this song.
