Default Slightly silly question

As I await delivery of my '24 X-Dynamic SE (I can't help but think LR naming is needlessly confusing), I found myself wondering whether or not it will have an AM tuner (as the last three cars I purchased did not.) Do US market defenders have AM tuners in the radio?

My 23.5 X-Dynamic SE has AM in the radio sources.

Congress is trying to make sure they stay in cars. See the am_for_every_vehicle_act.

Interesting. I was totally unaware of that.

Issue was all the new electronics caused interference with am signal just like in old days, corvettes had the same problem until they put a metal shield on the distributor. Remember what a distributor was?
