How do some car radios receive and display the title/album/artist of a song?

It makes sense to me with Bluetooth because the sound system and device are connected. But when it’s regular radio, how is it receiving and displaying this information?

This is only possible when the car’s radio is a DAB+ (Digital Audio Broadcasting) compatible device. Sending data digitally across the radio spectrum enables (among other things) *data casting*, which is the inclusion of additional information about what is being broadcast. Notably, there are DAB+ compatible radios that are standalone devices too, not just used in cars.
