[OT] Pioneer stereo question

[Ken Keith <auditude@impulsedata.net>]

Okay, a friend of mine was showing off his stereo 
system in his Jetta, and he had a Pioneer CD player.

He said that it could connect to a satellite or 
something, and if he programmed what city, he could 
listen to the local stations in that city. 

I didn't get a chance to pursue the subject, but 
I'm not thinking that it would be pretty darn 
sophisticated if it could do that.

Perhaps it just had a little microchip that had the 
call letters for all frequencies based on what 
city?  Because I really doubt the unit was communicating 
with some kind of satellite.

Could it be?
