As best I can tell, that device is an FM transmitter not a Tesla compatible Bluetooth transmitter. It needs the FM radio in the car to work and a clear FM channel to use. So, still need that $500 FM radio...$500 for radio? How about $18?

I've just scheduled my installation appointment for 11/19 to get the new digital FM/XM/HD tuner installed to my now upgraded MCU2/FSD 100D. If anyone's interested, I'll post final cost and a performance report after.
Cheers!
My BMW i3 did not have AM radio.Only Tesla could make a $100K car and be cheap and stupid as f@ck to not put in a $8 AM radio part.
It is cheap and easy to do, not to mention EVERY car in existence since 1940 has had an AM radio in it. Even if you don't use it, people EXPECT it when you go to sell the car. Some people like listening to ball games, traffic, local stations, ect. Just because some silicon valley dude uses bluetooth from his iPhone to his car doesn't mean we should all be inconvienced, especially at the price point of this car. It is almost as stupid as them not putting lights on the vanity mirrors of my 2017 MS, but then they do it in 2018. What? That $3 LED strip was too expensive in 2017, or were they just retarded and missed the fact that every car in the last 30 years has lighted vanity mirrors so the wife can check her makeup and stuff at night. I mean if you are going to make a superior car (which it is in most ways), at least get the simple basics done first, SMH!
Emergency Information & Safety Tips
Highway Advisory Radio System
The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission currently operates a Highway Advisory Radio System with transmitting sites located at various points along the Turnpike system. Located at 1640 AM on the radio dial, the Highway Advisory Radio System provides motorists with the latest, up-to-the-minute reports regarding delays, accidents, weather conditions, and other travel information on the Turnpike and on connecting state and US routes. Remote control signs equipped with special flashing lights are strategically located along the roadway and flash when motorists need to tune in their radios to receive a message relating to possible delays during construction or emergency situations. Additional Highway Advisory Radio sites are planned for other key locations, and eventually the system will be expanded to service the entire Turnpike system. The Highway Advisory Radio System operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. In addition to the permanently mounted broadcast system, the Turnpike Commission has four portable AM broadcasting units that are utilized for special events across the Turnpike system.
So how was it? How much did it cost?Thanks smhirsch.
I'd definitely be interested in hearing about the cost & how it went & works for you.
So how does this device work if you have no FM radio in your car, since it apparently broadcasts to FM?$500 for radio? How about $18?

Sorry I took so long to update this thread. It was a flat $500 installation fee to restore FM/HD/Sirius/XM radio. I have a retractable roof so I already had the antenna (I've heard panoramic glass roof models are problematic with satellite radio) and everything works great for the most part. One interesting "quirk" is that while you can no longer directly tune by number input to a satellite channel, you can set favorites, which show up just fine on the screen (they did finally add album art, too, which is a big plus) but you cannot scroll through your favorites with the steering wheel mounted forward/back buttons. Those only take you up or down from the channel you are on rather than through your favorites... strange indeed. I haven't yet reached out to anyone in corporate as to whether I'm doing something wrong or there's a setting somewhere, so if anyone knows, please share!Thanks smhirsch.

Do you know exactly what Tesla had to replace when restoring the FM/HD/Sirius/XM radio? For example, did they need to replace the antenna in the fixed portion of the panoramic roof glass? What exactly did they need to take apart to install the FM radio upgrade?Sorry I took so long to update this thread. It was a flat $500 installation fee to restore FM/HD/Sirius/XM radio.
