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.
