OMG I laughed so hard when said the person buying a Buick listens to CDs!!! She is me and I am her!!!!
Long live CD 🎶
For me they are so much better than streaming. I am old school and like to play entire albums but kids today attention spans are short. CD's are on their way out. It's a shame people have adjusted to paying for streaming services for the rest of their life's instead of owning physical media. Yes, I pay for Sirius even though I hate paying. The only good side of the decline of CD's is that they are available super cheap used.
Thanks for the info, but fact is - no CD player in a $50K vehicle sucks. The last thing I want to do with a new car is to have to rig up a sound system like I was 18 again and working on a 60's car.
I’ll take a 60’s car AND CD player
Just buy an older car from 10 years ago.
Mercedes actually did include a CD player as an option until 2021 when W205 was discontinued.
I wanna play my CD’s!!! Never did I think cars would NOT Have a CD player 😮
CD players provide far superior sound than even flac files cannot approach. That is why I insist on them. Streamed music is compressed files with resultant horrendous sound quality, anyone who appreciates quality audio knows this. Unfortunately modern Americans care only about convenience & quantity, in their food & everything else, so we're stuck with lousy choices. CDs are for those who appreciate quality audio, not a sign of age.
I concur 100 peecent.
I agree. I absolutely HATE that cars no longer come with them. I refuse to play music off my phone in the car. Literally looked this up because I'm about to buy a new car and want a CD player in the car in some capacity. Under the seat...something. I just can't deal with not having it. Also, I have CDs i love that I cannot find all the songs on streaming services. I've looked. I want them all and in the order they are on the CD. And its impossible. So I'll just install a CD player I guess.
💯%FACTS🔥👊🏼😎
Kevin you NAILED it my man! Former pro musician here. I have no interest in the Modern way of listening to music. WAV for life!
Same problem in the UK
I like buying them and collecting them.
Gotta justify buying them
Hard to believe you get to a certain age and become your parents. Except not me. 65 and still drive a small, fun, manual hatch. But still retro on the music--CDs not phone. Going to get a boombox that plays CDs and cassettes and plug the headphone out into the car's aux in.
Miami Bass just sounds better on CD; no copy of the music will sound as good or reach the lowest frequency. For us real Bassheads, CD is the only way to go.
Lol cd is 128kbs. Try a 320kbs mp3. Theres no debate, 3x better sound quality. The bass is significantly cleaner
rmblwgn INCORRECT! MP3’s compress the original signal and the sound suffers as a result. Most audiophiles can tell the difference. 3x better?? I think NOT! Do some reading before you pipe off.

@@nordicpride9708.... correct. Some guys speak with no knowledge.
@@rmblwgn A CD's bitrate is 1,141kps, which is 8.91 times what you quoted. Also, FLAC files can certainly handle the job.
For a real bass head vinyl is the only way to go
I purchased one for my BMW and it works well. I had to purchase a USBc and it is located in my arm console. I appreciate your video. It was so helpful.
It Also Reminds me of a "Cheap car stereo install" by Mighty car Mods on youtube. It's just a computer disk drive.
Didn’t know a product like this existed. Nice!
Small detail, but.for a cleaner and tighter space, measure and flip the mounts under the player. Always worked awesome for me!
Hi guys. Agree I too have customers who enjoy the simplicity of CD'S and audio quality. Have you ever come across a device that plugs into the USB socket inline between the USB socket and USB device (pen drive) to raise the audio quality. Been thinking about this lately. Live a dsp or line driver that goes inline. Problem with USB sticks is the audio bit rate and overall quality.
crap.. missed out on a quick million.. i have tons of customers that want to add a cd player to their new vehicle! great video!!
Glad to hear the Valuable Information about how The CD player Buffers Disc !!!! I wasn’t aware of that!!!! Now I can pass on the Information to my Customers... thanks again 👍🏻
Just a little heads up to other Installers out there !!!! We’ve had 2 different issues with Installing these USB CD players !!!! Freezing the Entire Screen , and the other was Randomly ejecting the Disc for No reason ....
Always fun
@@chriswhite4596 that is not good oh man...
super cool,clean and professional
Technology is going backward ! We need the instant track change like we had in the 90's !
It’s actually amazing how the CD has been kept alive for so long, with DVD and Blu-ray offering backwards compatibility. Where are the 8 tracks (before my time), and cassettes? On the computer side, floppies 💾, Zip disks and less popular media? MiniDiscs, Jaz, etc. And you can still buy CDs today, new, not in MP3 but pure, 12 track, one sided only. 😝
Been wanting to add a raspberry pi to my audio system use it as a head unit this will work good can have CD now. You thank the raspberry would be good for high res
CD's for the audio quality FTW!!!!
Welcome to the 21st century, where flac files provide better quality than a cd is capable of.
thank you for posting this.
OK but the reason CD players are cool is that you can click quickly through the songs you want to skip. You are saying you can't do that with this CD Player. By the way I can rip a CD and play it digitally however I like the simplicity of CD where this is limited menus clicking and my eyes stay on the road and not my monitor clicking though menus.
Love the intro music. Sounds like old school Micheal Jackson.
That Velcro is also called dual lock, from Velcro brand and it holds tight
Thank you
I hope they have auto reverse cassette player just like that one
Awesome!!!! Now I can use my two 200 cd books.
Found out the hard way, audio books, not so much. It only works with WAV and WMA files, on music CDs.
Yep I do need one for my car to
I enjoyed this video.
Informative video.. Why didn't you just double side velcro tape it to the inside of that compartment? The only thing I can think of, is if you wanted to remove the tape someday... and it won't come off, or it destroys the face of the plastic.
CD changers were so cool in the 90's
I use that velcro and it's super strong
What about when you do want to plug in your phone? Can you use the other USB Ports?
We actually use the AIS model of this and it works great. Ive never heard of this brand....would you compare the two?
I Am Wondering If It Will Work On A 2021 Hyundai Palisade. I Am Asking Because There Are Some Outlets That Say it Will Not Work In This Particular Vehicle.
I'm one of those who spent the last 30 years collecting music on CDs - I could go ahead and rip it all to other media - but seriously, when you got a couple of hundred CDs, that is not as conveinient as just keep on playing the CDs like you used to. So, I got myself one of these fpr my new car (Renault Zoe 2019) and it did not work. At least not as I was hoping it would. It played a CD I tested, but then refused to play it the next time. And it could not find track 1-10; always start at track 11. For some reason, it will play CDs I burnt in my laptop at once, but I had to try several times with the real one, untill I got any sound from it. Most of the time, it informed me that no media could be found on the disc. No such problems when I tried playing CDs with it connected to my laptop - then it worked great, so I guess the infotainmentsystem in my Renault does not really recognize this device for some reason... So make sure it works with your specific model of car before buying this player.
Yes, they do not work with all cars!
I bought one just like it that was compatible for my 2019 Silverado but not sure which brand, got it off Amazon. So I followed the directions to hook it up. Put in a cd, and it worked. That is until I wanted to play through the entire cd, it would play through the first 4 songs then skip to track 9 or 10. I tried skipping to the tracks it was missing but it would still go from 4 to 9. So I sent it back.
Yea, but is it still CD quality or MP3 quality?
Will that work in a vintage AM/FM 8TRACK CAR RADIO
Yes Yes I live in NJ I am leasing a Volvo 2022 XC 60 Inspiration hybrid.
I would really enjoy playing my CD'S. Can you help me?
can not get a CD player but they still have AM radio.
Hey dean or Fernando, I bought a similar one of these for my god mother, (not the same brand but looked identical) and she has basically the same vehicle but the Chevy version. Now, it worked great. Music played etc. However none of the CDs I played on it started at the first track, and would not play the songs sequentially. It basically was flung a good ol shuffle. Was this one like that guys?
What if your newer but not so new car does not have a CD player and has no USB port?
Do you have a link to the strong plastic velcro you mentioned?
Does anyone have an updated link for the CD player? Link in description doesn't work
Phones and memory cards do not have the high fidelity of a CD. And radio stations compress the signal. Only the CD has audio quality sound.
Flac files on a USB connection can surpass the audio quality of a cd. Sorry.
@@jamesg8246 I knew someone arguing at the flea market because someone tried selling him a stereo with flac on it. He thought that mp3 is the only format and he was getting scammed
@@BaltazarSMZ dude that's hilarious
Is there a cord for the power source ?
What works for 2019 toyota limited prius? Im told nothing works? Thanks
Which model CD player is compatible to 2021 Chevy Trailblazer???
Your amazon link has nothing on it.
Can the unit play dvd and where can I order one
The 2023 BMW X5 doesn't allow you to put CD player inside glove compartment anymore. Do you know what CD Player I could put in the arm console?
my car is apple compatible...tried using an external cd drive and wont work. any ideas?
Please, what's the model of that small cut off saw?
where can i buy monster velcro? , i saw none on google search
LOL when he showed the centre console I thought the USB ports were a 110 volt socket at first.
Me too!
😂😂😂
How can I purchase this item and how much is it?
How much are they? Do you know one for my equinox?
I am a singer and need hard copies (CD’s) to practice with and possibly use if wherever I am performing has a bad internet connection or no internet at all.
I have this and the issue I’ve come across in a 2022 Equinox is it doesn’t seem to play all the songs on the album and will go from like 1 to 5, to 7, to 13 and no it’s not on shuffle. But most confused as to why it won’t play all the songs.
Mine does the SAME thing in my 2017 Dodge Ram truck. So I took the unit inside the house and plugged it into my home computer and all the songs play in order. So WHY does it not work like that in my truck????
Why not connect with aux port input？ i choose monodeal brand CD Player,it is outout my car audip aux input port.
Anybody that doesn't want to listen to compressed crap is in the CD category. I imagine the buffering this player does is compression.
How can I get one in Canada thanks.
Have fitted acouple of those
Where are there I like to buy it
My mom’s new 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo did not have a CD, would have been a $500.00 add on option and it gets mounted inside arm rest.
So I had to put all her music on a SD card glad to see this is an option. But can you use a external CD player that you would use for your laptop and plug it in? Would that work just the same?
No. The radio has no way to interpret the output. A portable CD player is the way to go.
I bought this. But my head unit won’t recognise it.
Does it play CD-R/RW?
Tried it, found out it won't play audio books, which is the only reason it was purchased. Long trips without audio books ...
Audio books sometimes use MP3 files, and the CD player they're suggesting in this video won't play MP3 files. Really odd that the company made a modern CD player that won't play MP3s!!!!
Will this player work with MP3 CDs? I don't think it will!
I tried this in my challenger
And it did not work
Can i get one of these to work with say - A Kenwood Multimedia Receiver already installed in my car?
Example: Model DMX906S?
SOME new Cars have DVD Players and DVD Players can play CDs.
But its usually for Rear Seat Entertainment....
good point!!! Thanks for the idea...
Actually those are rare now. Ford stopped offering CD players in any of their pickup trucks.
Exciidid about this one? Is that the same as being excited?.
so this is just a generic usb drive that you get for computers? so you can plug any external cd/dvd drive?
No, it has circuitry to emulate a USB thumb drive, which is one of the media your car understands.
Where can I buy Monster Velcro?
We are at that point now.
Hey hey hey.. I have a Buick...but fair point.
When I first saw those I wondered who would actually buy it and at that price. I stand corrected.
I saw one for 200 somewhere but 350, dayum!
Be sure it will work with your vehicle. Look up the available protocol before you buy.
Can you put it in the area underneath the dash . I have an an area under the dash
Yes if it will fit
The weblink is broken. Does not work. Says page cannot be found 🙄
lol i was left in total disbelief and dissapointment when I bought my 2021 Mazda CX5 and I started looking for the cd player with the new Kotzen/Smith cd in hand and it was just not there!!!! lol lol lol lol lol lol lol
Would this work on my 85 Ford ranger everything is original with a cassette port
You would need a cassette aux adapter then connect to that to the aux port in a cd player. It worked for me.
And if your car doesn't have a USB port?
But what if I want an 8 track installed in my new car?
I'm sure you are kidding, I actually remember the 8 track...the good old days 😂
Does the double tape strong in the trunk, cause i need my trunk carpet not to move cause i have 2 a jl audio w7 series subs box and its big and it slides,
I don’t think it will hold that amount of weight
What do you recommend in a 08 impala Ls ?
So everytime I play the same CD will I still have to wait for each song to buffer or only after I play the CD for the first time?
I wish I knew the answer to this :(
@4:14 bahahahaha 📻 🤣
Would this work on a aftermarket radio without a cd player?
jeepdude2007 Anything that has a USB input
@@kerrypence4201 I was going to consider it til seen that little box of a cd player cost $350
Yessss
I liked CDs cause you can Choose them and they sound nice. MP3 and UsB you can't see the artist name or the song name and it just takes the fun out of listening. I guess if you like Staring at the screen to figure it out and Hate driving like most young people do(They are ALWAYS in a TOTAL Hurry). Pisses me off that I pay 55K for a vehicle and it does not come with a simple ole CD player.
I made the box to hold the CD player for inside the counsel but the CD player will not eject CD's in an upright vertical posistion! Only in the flat horizontal posistion. Waste of time, money and energy...
I have a 2019 accord what 6.5 or 6.75 2 way components would you recommend. I'm putting a Rockford Fosgate p3 12 with a amp and want to replace the components in the front and back. I also wanted to know a good amp for the 4 speakers. Would I need a LC7i? is the LC7i a hi to lo converter?
Did you watch ur video on the 2019 accord?
Five Star Car Stereo Yes I did
Where can we get that CD?
SBFlashlightGuy AliExpress.com
I want m.2 drives in muh car stereo.
No longer available
And the link is busted ugh
Great vid. CDs are still the best format. Manufacturers are being lazy and cost cutting. By forcing people to be lazy and stream it discourages CDs which leads to less payment to proper artists who deserve it too
YIKES!!! $214 on Amazon?!?
I also laugh at cars with premium sound systems with no CD where most users will stream compressed audio through it. It's like putting budget tyres on a performance car
nice but it is 365 bucks on amazon
$350…… Are you freaking kidding me!! That thing cannot cost more than $15 to make and that’s stretching it! I don’t care how bad I want to listen to my CDs I’m not spending that for that Chinese piece of crap. I would find it hard telling a customer it’s going to cost 400+ dollars to put that thing in thier car…
Yes, just rip your cd collection for free.
Just get a portable CD player, a 3.5mm wire and a power adapter. See my post. Less than $100.
Ken O'Day I figured that you could use a portable one.
Ken O'Day some cars don’t even have an AUX connection 😞
@@kenoday7562 unfortunately not all cars even have an AUX input port anymore
