Anyone install the "add on" remote cd player to their 2017 rams? Does it come with the wiring to connect to the radio?
Or do you have to buy a wiring harness?
I have a 2107 1500 Crew Cab SLT.. apparently having the need for a CD player
Puts me on the scrap heap of Audio Technology. Did I mention I own a working 8 track player? Lol
Maybe I should just install the 8 track under dash model I have still in the Box.

I say skip the CD player and add 8track.


I'm and old fart too. I about freaked out when I realized I had no CD player.
3 usb sticks stopped working. 2 iPods stopped working. So far a new USB stick and my Zune are still working.

Biggest issue is consistency. My car has a HDD and CD player but no USB capability

I'm jealous. I can't even add one. I don't have right center console.

You could do a portable and plug output into Aux input, LOL, kinda like years ago, U had a portable CD player that had a cassette attached on a cord that U put in the cassette player, showing my age??? LMAO

My last Dodge ( caravan ) had a CD/ Cassette player. As a teenager in the mid to late 80's I was in my glory..now to not have at least the option of a CD player blows. Its the only thing I Don't like about My Truck. One of the guys I work with bought a 2019 Ram 1500.
With a single CD player. Apparently enough people must have complained.
