Am I the only one who thinks Jeep should’ve included an in dash CD player?

Records played by a laser beam.

…since you’ll probably ask, a record looks like a flat dinner plate, but it makes musical sounds when played on a record player.

Think he was serious or sarcastic?

No eight tracks, so I guess I'll have put a Tandy-Radio Shack unit under the dash.

I still use and buy CDs. I prefer CD sound quality, and love holding a CD case with artwork and lyrics in my hand. I do miss playing a CD in my truck. I never carried more than 5 or 6 CDs at a time in my vehicles. Just whatever my mood was at the time. So I kinda wish it was an option. I'd probably use it once in a while for my most favorite albums. But it's not a huge issue.

*I'm an audiophile

I prefer the sound of vinyl - but JVC doesn't haver a linier tracking turntable that fits any DIN standard.

Sorry y'all, I couldn't resist ?.

My LPs, good old '80s Rega turntable, and even older Dynaco tube stereo equipment will all be functional and fixable, when every single current smartphone has turned into e-waste. Bwhaha! Obsolescence as the ultimate safeguard against obsolescence

When peoples ipad in the dash takes a crap and the car wont run they will miss the old days.

…sure maybe a fair percentage of people have moved on from holding media in their own hands, but I’m telling you that I like my cd’s on road trips and I‘d bet dollars to donuts that I’m not the only guy who bought one and then spent a second or few looking for the cd player to only realize it was GONE! I‘ll note that I am actually a somewhat techy guy and I’ve had music on my phones, but after past issues, I just like to keep it simple. Oh, and if it was a waterproof thing, then Jeep could have just put a slick little flip up and down rubber door on.
What say you?

I'd take one. I'm a music snob and still burn my own cds sometimes.

I remember when they stopped doing tape players too….

You mean 11 years ago?

Surely, it couldn't be all that difficult to mount a cd changer under the back seat, that is connected to the aux and could be used that way. I can't imagine that it would be all that difficult.

 

[MyRight]

No...
The cell phone holder I bought for my last vehicle actually fit in the CD slot, since it wasn't being used any longer.
Since the JT doesn't have a CD player, now I have to come up with a new solution for a cell phone holder...that is my only reason to have one.
Like others, I ripped every CD I owned year's ago and they all fit on a thumb drive. Way more of a selection without having to handle and potentially scratch my music. No need for storage of the CD's .
CD's are just an antiquated means for music storage. I'm glad to see them go away.

 

[DAVECS1]

YES!

No thank you

Lol, more like 15, I was 11. CDs and limewire were the future, even if it gave my PC aids.

Now I just pay Spotify to rip off artists and have it all at my fingertips instantly, capitalism for the win!
