How to Use the Car Radio in GMod Easy Engine

"GMod," or Garry's Mod, is a sandbox-style game that runs off the Source physics engine. Players are allowed to use items and NPCs (non-player characters) from "Half-Life 2" and other Valve games to create objects, vehicles or scenarios. Easy Engine is a GMod add-on that allows the user to easily create vehicles and add features to them, such as a radio, horn, lights, fuel tank and supercharger. To use a radio with Easy Engine you will first need to connect a battery to the engine of your vehicle.
