Car CD Players no more? how are you coping?

[shokhead]

Something I will have to deal with with my next SUV. My 14 has no USB's but CD, DVD, DVD-A and hard drive.

I do not drive.

It was a joke. If you read the first post in this thread you will get it.

How do I cope? I'll just keep my 1997 Cadillac Concours with a 12 disc changer in the trunk.

My car CD player skips like crazy, I'm about to hardwire in an aux so I can just plug my smartphone into it.

CD's are probably scratched, that's why I only play burned copies.

Ditto, I only play burned cd's too. Unfortunately the cd player appears to be pooched.

I thought I would miss the CD player in my car, but decided to take a chance on a Jensen head unit without one. I use a 128GB flash drive with the highest-res MP3s on it. The convenience and wide music selection far outweighes the difference in fidelity, I believe.

Still have a 6 CD changer and cassette player in my 2007 Acura TL so I keep that car mint at this time. The only thing bad is despite the car having Bluetooth, that doesn’t apply to the audio portion of the car.
Good advice above about getting a 2021 Acura TLX, that will be in my future.

Mrs. Surround recently bought a 2022 Subaru Crosstrek plug-in hybrid. You know what's in the dash? A CD player. I guess when the CD spools down from its high rpm, it charges the batteries.

Look out - CD sales rose for the first time in awhile!
