    It might have been glitched; but I doubt it. I'm willing to bet it was intended as the mission "music", whether you wanted it or not.

    For simple free-roaming I'm just hoping it's like FC3 - you turn off the radio once, and that's the end of it, unless you turn it back on; unlike FC4, as been previously mentioned.
    HEY!!! That was my favorite tune in FC 4!!

    A brand new, 'fresh off the lot' car wouldn't have the radio on sure, but Vira, none of the cars we'll be hopping in & out of in this game are 'brand new' vehicles. They're the parked or abandoned cars of the local populace. Literally no one I know turns their radio off when they get out of their car, so it stands to reason all these civilian vehicles scattered about Hope County would still have their radios on when you requisition them...

    Anyway, here's the latest IGN First video of another Clutch Nixon activity.

    Nevertheless it's dumb not to let players turn off radio music permanently.

    Darn right.

    It won't surprise me if we'll have to put up with endless/needless NPC chatter during at least some quests, by what's been shown to date.

    I'd love the option to turn it off especially if the music and dialogue will be as annoying and repetitive as it was in FC4, which from the footage I've seen, it seems it will be to me.

    You can skip dialogues but there's nothing you can do when they call you on the phone.

    What key do I push/press to throw the "phone" either out the window or drop on the ground ...

    Within the story line; the radios turned on to "what" - the now off-the-air local radio station (assuming of course this remote Hope County had a radio station)? To the CD that the previous owner had inserted? To satellite radio?

    Again within the story line, I can see Ubisoft having a vehicle blare forth either nonsense from the cult, or chatter from the resistance (as in FC4). Just allow the player the option to completely ignore any of it after the very first time climbing into a vehicle, for rest of the game.

    As an aside, I do turn off the radio (well, the "entertainment console" nowdays), as well unplug any devise(s), prior to exiting my main vehicle.

    Well you're one of a small niche of people who bother with doing so, most people don't, and so the radios being on when you hop into a car is the more realistic approach to the matter. You can turn the radio off right away upon entering a vehicle, it isn't hard, so this is one of the most inanely trivial complaints there's been in a while.
