Started my collection in my 20's back in eighties, and now adding to it in my 50's with the awesome 180 gram pressings!!!

I started in the 60s stopped in the 80s. I generally only listen to those at home.

I totally agree. I'm a vinyl record guy myself. But the point is state of the art designers and engineers are not going to put a CD player in a new truck. Just like they wont put in a cassette player or 8 track tape player. You have to go aftermarket like the suggestions say

I agree with your point too. I was responding to the comments that said the only option was to download it on to a USB.

What is funny is my 2002 Silverado had a cassette player down in the center console.  I took it out for a storage box there.  I still have it and the factory radio which has a CD player in it.  I just like my Alpine head unit better than the factory system.

My 18 has one too, have it used it few times.

 

Use my iPod for long trips, never have tried any other media.

I have two I’ve transferred 7,000 songs to them. Backed up on mp3 CDs. I’m a music nut too. I’ve found I listen mostly to pandora now. When I’m not listening to talk radio. I have every McCartney album except the new one. Most Led Zeppelin, the Cars, Queen, Clapton, Bee Gees, Prince, Elton John so on. I use to belong to record clubs, remember those? I don’t listen to regular radio anymore. If I did it would be country. The closest to the music I listen to. The last few vehicles I’ve owned I never tried the CD player. My Avalanche I have a blue tooth speaker.

Oh yea, bunch of stuff for a penny, then one item the rest of your life each month at normal price, with a $35.00 S&H fee.

What a great deal, always heard they were generic pressings, not as good sound quality, never could tell the difference.

If you really need to go CDs, you could go a little old school.

For a while add on CD Changers that worked through your FM had some popularity.

I had a Kenwood, Pioneer, and JVC at different times.

You put 6-12 CDs in a changeable cartridge.

 

I actually bought a used JVC setup several years ago that I never installed.

Was going to using it on an older car that I wanted to look original.

Still have it, if you were close by, I would just give it to you.

Looks like the replies you are going to get will be more useless than the one from the manufacture and dealers......
There aren't a whole lot of options. He can either buy an external cd player and plug it in with an aux cable or something or he can transfer to a usb or flash drive or phone, that's really it.

Personally, the best option, in my opinion would be to either transfer to a phone or a larger flash drive. When you rip your cds on to a computer most programs will have settings to keep the larger sound files for better quality rather than compressing to a smaller file. If you have a good sized flash drive you can keep the cd quality sound and store a lot of your cds in a much more convenient package.

But yeah, cds are basically antiquated these days, haven't seen any new model vehicles with them as even an option anymore.

I agree completely with your statement.

 

And yours is a good reply, giving options, which he asked for, and personal opinions on what is readily available and works well for you.

 

The reason we have so many one post and done, is everyone attacks them like they are idiots, and what they say is the law of the land, that is where my comment came from, kind of a defense of the OP.

 

Which, I do not think has replied back, can't really blame him with reception he received.

1) if a person wants a CD player, it can happen.

     I have a 2000 Vette, and I want a upgraded CD player. Its a personal preference. Can I bluetooth, yes I can,

      Do I have CDs I want to play? Yes.

2) I work at a dealership and have a client looing for a CD player. Its an $80k truck, and if he wants one, I'll find one.

3) so, Im working on a CD Player, USB port driver and adapters. Its going to be near $350 with freight  

         I want to test and confirm everything works for him, and should have them available in a week or less.

 

IF you are interested, I'll email you details - you can email me at [email protected]

      Batteries don’t always show signs of a few years ago my vehicle started fine in the morning and took me to work. After work the battery was completely dead and I needed a jump. No, I didn’t leave anything on and the battery was only a couple months old. It was replaced under warranty.

      AFM is confirmed in the Corvette engine, so I'm assuming the higher volume trucks will get it as well

      If his battery was that bad I would think it would have been showing signs before this that were ignored. Stinks that it happened the way it did in rush hour traffic, but this seems like a pretty fringe scenario. I don't mind it that bad and never turn it off. The only slight annoyance for me is the slight delay between brake to gas, but I have gotten used to it and figure if it can save a little gas why not.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a good correction. I think “severity” was probably the wrong word for what I meant. What I really mean is closer to event priority, relevance, and actionability — not “this code is severe” or “replace this part.” I agree that a truck can have a lot of trivial or historical communication codes, and if the product starts pushing alerts for every stored or low-value event, people will ignore it very quickly. So the alert logic would need to be filtered. For example, I would not want a random old communication code to generate a push notification by itself. A useful alert would probably need to be based on things like: - new vs historical - active vs stored - repeated vs one-time - duration of the event - whether it happened near the driver-marked symptom - whether it happened together with voltage drop, reset, bus-off, misfire, oil-pressure change, etc. - whether the same pattern repeats under similar conditions So instead of saying “severity,” maybe the product should organize events by affected system and priority. For example: Misfire event: Show misfire counts / roughness first, then fuel trims, RPM/load, DFM/AFM state if available, coolant/oil temp, voltage, and related DTCs. Oil-pressure event: Show oil pressure first, but only in context — RPM, load, oil temperature, coolant temperature, DFM/AFM state if available, voltage, and baseline comparison. Communication event: Show which module/network/message dropped, whether voltage dropped, whether the recorder reset, whether it was active or historical, and whether it repeated. Voltage/reset event: Show battery voltage, crank/wake/sleep state, module reset, communication dropouts, and what came back online first. That also solves the display-order problem you mentioned. The main report should not always show the same fixed list first. It should show the system that appears abnormal first, and then the supporting values for that system. I also agree that the truck already has an oil pressure gauge and MIL. The point would not be to duplicate those. The value would be in showing what else was happening before and after the warning or symptom. For example, if the MIL comes on for a misfire, the truck already told the driver there is a problem. The useful part would be: - which cylinder or bank looked abnormal first - whether it happened after an AFM/DFM transition - whether fuel trims were already moving - whether oil pressure or voltage changed at the same time - whether the same pattern happened previously without a MIL On the OBD port point, I think you may be right for a consumer-facing version. OBD is much easier for the average owner: - easier install - easier removal - inside the cabin - easier phone connection - easier data download - easier to include a pass-through port for another scanner OBD is also the right place for DTCs, freeze frame, VIN, calibration information, Mode 6, and normal scan-tool parameters. The reason I was looking at ECM-side recording is that some events may be gone by the time someone plugs in a scanner, and some powertrain-side network evidence may not be available the same way through the DLC. But I agree that if an OBD-based version can capture enough useful evidence for most owners, that is probably the cleaner consumer product. Maybe the split is: - OBD/DLC version for most consumers - ECM-side version only if it proves it adds evidence that the OBD version cannot get - shop/pro version if deeper powertrain-side event evidence is actually useful So I would not want to force the inline approach if the OBD workflow solves most of the real-world problem. Your last point is probably the key product requirement: the report should be specific to the system showing the abnormality. Not “here are 50 parameters.” More like: “Misfire-related event detected. Here are the misfire/fuel/DFM/context values.” or “Oil-pressure-related event detected. Here is oil pressure compared with RPM/load/temp/baseline.” or “Communication event detected. Here is what dropped, when, and whether voltage/reset happened first.” That is a much better way to think about the report.

      It was all part of the tiny bit of fuel savings it goes towards what was mandated by the government. Much like cylinder deactivation. That was relaxed by the recent administration. All that doesn’t help the individual buyer. But as a whole helps the manufacturer to try to reach the previous ridiculous past mileage per gallon mandate. So yes it was mandated and added cost to the vehicle.
