I figured it was probably that. I didn't even know that one could do the radio delete option nowadays.
I used to be deep off into high-end car audio. Did some IASCA competitions, etc. The older I get, the more I'd rather spend it on more sensible modifications. Long gone are the days of OEM stereos sounding like a tin can. Even the lesser expensive ones sound decent. They might not remotely adjust your rear view mirrors from the bass, but many do perform moderately well for being a stock system.

At what it costs now to build a system comparable to what I built 10 years ago... the stock premium system is. I'm not going to say good but adequate. I deadened and did a CLD layer on my daily back in May and the stock setup is good enough now I won't mess with it. You have to get stupid to get a truly excellent sounding system in a moving vehicle that it just isn't worth it to me. I built out the home system instead lol.

Radio delete went by the way of manual transmissions, manual windows, glass headlight lenses, and diesels with mechanical pumps

I'll add in though for manual transmissions, a dislike is forced skip shift. Thats some BS I don't need in my life.

One of the first things I did to the wife's Challenger after we got it was add a skip shift eliminator. Took more time to jack the car up than to install the squib.
