Same as Digital TV I suppose - get an adapter or a new radio. Some entrepreneur(s) will produce adapters and no doubt a pricey version from car manufacturers?

Analogue TV is expected to be fully switched off by 2012, but analogue radio is years off yet. The goverment set a target of 2015, but the criteria to achieve this looks unlikely.
One of the main problems is radio in cars, most new cars do not have a digital radio (currently DAB) as standard, so they can't switch the service off until a specific percentage of the listening population is digitial. Digital listeners have to account for 50% of the listening audience for this to be possible.

It doesn't currently look too likely that the analogue service for radio will switch off in 2015. So rest easy for now! Thumbs Up

Cheers,

Mark
