I'm old school too and still like listening to a new CD on the way home from the store. After I bought my truck I actually picked a CD up to put it into the player and couldn't believe I couldn't find one. I've been looking on ebay and there's a plug and play unit with NAV blue tooth and a cd player for around $400. Not cheap but by the time you buy a cheaper CD player and have it installed so it looks factory, it'll probably cost close to tat aanyway.

and what might the name of this device be please and thank you:favorites13:

Wait a second, if your computer is broken and you don't have a cell phone, how are you posting on here?

Here's what I had to do with all my CDs
- load them into my hard drive
- upload them to Google drive
- download them to my smart phone.
- use blue tooth to play them in my truck.

You may be able to find a Sony Diskman and use the audio jack to play them in your truck.
My ram and town and country have ports for the music. Truck has the thumb drive and sd card. Van has the thumb drive only. I just got through converting my old cassettes ( a few hundred) to digital and put them on the thumb drive, downloaded to the hard drive on the van and use an sd card in the truck. Worked well. You young whipper snappers probably don't know what a cassette is. I also use a flip phone.

I noticed the same thing in my Rebel, But after I plugged in the SD card with over 500 songs on it that I was using in the Challenger, I found out that I did not need or want a cd player at all.

Try getting a record player to work without skipping while you drive down the road. Good vinyl still sounds better than any music format since in my opinion.

You can buy the OEM CD player, but isn't cheap, see them on ebay and mopar parts sites, but are like $400.

I miss the DVD player for when I'm in my truck waiting for ferries or on stand by at a worksite. Mobile Internet is ridiculously expensive in canada and I only have mobile Internet 90% of the time since I live in a rural area and work in the middle of nowhere. We put up combo cel/light towers to get phone reception at work sites. I just read now instead. Cd player I don't need. Better just plugging in a USB stick, but I wish I could still plug it in in the upper glovebox. Always seem to break them in the centre console between change trays sliding around and rummaging through books and paperwork in there.
