Adaptors are easy to make for automobiles. Remember when FM came out and then the team formats. Today we have those little FM transmitters for mp3s, etc. Back in the olden days they even made short wave converters for the car radios. Just fed the outputs through the Motorola jacks and tuned to a frequency. So, old technology.
Seems some auto makers have or are preparing for eliminate fm or even radio from the cars. If it happens and it might starting in another 5 years or so, the entire landscape can change. As for home audio few units are fm only so market impact may not be significant.
The bigger questions for the vintage crowd relates to the collector values of the different equipment formats. Currently receivers compared to integrated amps and separates command some rather insane prices for what ever reason. If the tuners go dead will it devalue receivers in favor of integrated amps and separates.
Whereas currently we are seeing a movement in North America to allow discontinuing over the air television it is not inconceivable as more stations gain market traction over the web they will likewise want to discontinue OTA broadcasting and based on the different rules related to television and radio doing so for radio will be far easier.
