    Are you sure the hardware is still there? I only ask because given the number of hackers out there, I’m surprised someone hasn’t come out with a patch or something to make it more ubiquitous.

      A lot of it isn’t there anymore….

      But because it was a hardware thing, the patch would involve rooting your phone, something most people won’t do.

      i think I recall that the Bluetooth hardware is essentially an FM tuner. Just needed a wired headphone to use as an antenna. My Moto Stylus 2022 still has it.
