Yes it is awful with no A/C. I experienced that one summer and I will never do that again.

I'm not sure that is humanly possible, I know it isn't in Houston. Might as well just ride around with a water hose filling the interior at all times.

lol Florida is always bi-polar. It's summer 9 months out of the year. 2 months we get cold weather. And maybe a month of good weather like this week. But who knows, maybe itll rain out of no where and be muggy outside.

Florida isn't as beautiful as every one thinks.

I'm sure the dealer will give you a radio as soon as he can. They don't get any satisfaction by making problems for themselves. If this is your biggest problem you've got it made.

It is definitely not for the faint of heart, but we'll just say I looked forward to trips that required me to get on the interstate vs. local. Frozen bottles of water helped me get through most of my commute to and from work.

It's a supplier issue. Pioneer is having trouble keeping up with BeSpoke orders, they started installing the base audio in a lot of vehicles which then put a stress on that stock too. There are a ton of cars sitting around at the port without a radio and no word on when they'll get them so you're not alone.

*Note: the radio is typically (I know there are many cases where this does not hold true) not a dealer installed option nor is it a factory option. They're usually installed at the port before being shipped to the cars destination. I'm guessing so that when a customer complains about the radio option the dealer can blame the factory, the factory can blame the dealer, and the customer loses as he gets what he gets but that's just my assumption, not really sure on why it's that way.
