Six Key Findings
2025 Dashboard
Scoreboard
A snapshot of how common each feature is in the dashboard of the top 100 best-selling new models in the U.S. We will update the scoreboard annually to track radio’s standing and progress.
Methodology: Collecting and Analyzing the Data
Data for this report was collected by an independent contractor tasked with auditing in-dash systems in America’s 100 top-selling new vehicles. To gauge radio’s in-dash standing, each dashboard was carefully analyzed for audio entertainment features and visual components, including radio text, artist, and song information.
Photos were taken, and a detailed, standardized questionnaire was completed. Data was collected from new vehicles onsite at various auto dealerships between November 2025 and January 2025.

The Marketing Tool That Nearly Every Radio Program Director Ignores
