Update from my comment a few days ago this does work in my BMW and also displays track titles BUT I had to wait a long time for it to find the player and I mean a long time , now it works like a factory fitted CD player . Happy Days .
They're all the same, so just buy the cheapest one. Works in my 2019 Hyundai Elantra GT hatchback (will likely work in Kona and Sonata as they share a lot of parts). Yes, takes a while to recognize the disk. If you plug in the drive when the car is already running, once in motion, the car's alarm bell will beep for 90 seconds. To avoid, plug in before starting car.
Will it work in a '25 Honda CR-V with a 2.5amp USB port? The car has four USB ports, three that are charge only and one 2.5 A port that will play music files such as a flash drive.
I don’t know whether Honda still use Android based stereo system or not. If they do then it will work. I know that in 2025 some system will no longer android based but some models are still android based. My recommendation is just to buy it and plug it into the usb that you use thumb drive and try it. You can always return it if it doesn’t work. But you absolutely have to use the port that can transfer data, not just powered ports.
On my 2024 Toyota Sienna it displays the tracks as WAV files, but I could not get it to play anything. It works well with my Windows laptop. Is there something I am missing or is the Sienna not quite compatible? Any advice/info would be greatly appreciated.
Been looking at these for awhile now for my Atoto. Does it skip when you are on a rough road? Have you tried it in the cold? I remember the first CD car players wouldn't play when cold and would skip like crazy over bumps.
@@DavidSusiloUnscripted Thank you for the reply, unfortunately after watching your video RUclips recommended another video with the same player and the reviewer said that because it only plays WAV files that most CDs made before 2010 (which is all of mine) won't play because they are not in WAV format. Bummer.
@Pro1er that review is utter bullshit. ALL audio CDs are in WAV. That is the orange book (audio CD) specifications. I played CDs as old as from pre 1990 with ZERO problem.
U said PRACTICALLY any new car. How about my Toyota Prius Limited? So glad to see I'm not the ONLY "old school" CD lover. Just hope I can get one for MY car.🙏
Obviously I can test it on cars that I don’t own and/or don’t know who owns one. And sadly I don’t know anyone with Toyota Prius. But just typical of Amazon product, you can always return it
@@riceburner4747 I actually wanted to buy Prius Prime but the wait time was 18 months back in March 2022 so I ended up getting a Volvo instead (only 3 months wait). Crappy car though. :(
@ellie26cat no, not Android Auto. Android Auto is different than Android OS. But most importantly, did you plug in the cd player into the correct USB input in the car? Kia has multiple USB inputs but only one of the input that can have data to be used with your phone and/or cd player.
I got this same one for my 2019 Honda accord and it just scanned through all the tracks and then would decide it liked track 6 or 7 and then go back to scanning and skipping the rest. So sending back.
DOH !!! I just wish car manufacturers just leave the CD player alone. The manufacturing cost for a CD drive is less than $10 (yes, I did price it, and basing it at only 10,000 order quantity) car manufacturers make hundreds of thousands of cars of the same model each year, they should be able to negotiate the pricing down to around US$6 per drive.
@@DavidSusiloUnscripted Sadly companies mottos these days are “Less For More” Anything to save .5cents ☹️ Just like streaming any music/movies, quality is worse than playing from the actual CD/DVD Some might like “streaming” but agree wish they would leave them alone or very least make a plug and play one.
@joshymcdaniel9233 it is highly ridiculous. I actually checked around for a China vendor that makes DVD drives. According to them it will inly cost them $12 landed cost including case customization (so it looks like”custom” in a particular car) and added VW, BMW branding, etc. I don’t understand why manufacturers just have that option and charge, say, $200. I know a shitton of people would pay for that optical transport added to the car from the factory.
Well, the one I tried to use in my 2019 Nissan could not read the CD. The radio could see it but it could not find the music. My guess is the CD player is bad, but not sure. I need to find more information before I make another move.
I just received mine in the mail today. I own a 2019 Nissan Frontier. After some trouble shooting, I figured out that with the little black box it comes with, the decoder, you have to use all three ports. The car player interface, audio interface, and the power interface. Select the auxiliary input on your stereo, and it should play your CD. It works just fine in my truck, and the audio quality is amazing. I hope this helps.
Hi, the cd player in my 2014 Toyota Corolla no longer works (the cd won't eject) so I bought this exact same player, but does not work in the usb. Any help appreciated. Thanks
Great video, @@DavidSusiloUnscripted! Thanks for sharing. As an iPhone user, I use iOS, not Android with my 2022 Audi. Will that work with this CD player? I really miss using CDs with my car. Thanks for your guidance.
Just waiting fore mine to arrive for the 2023 BMW M sport 118i lets hope it works ,I LOVE my Cd,s WTF have cars done away with it or at least an option .
It is understandable but very illogical. The cost of audio system in any given car is about US$30 including the speakers. If they add a CD player, the cost goes up by around US$20. Stupid, I know, considering the price of cars, but that’s the business reality. :( :(
You simply can not. I’m baffled that many cars still only have 1 input that is compatible with data stream and the rest are only for charging. It’s annoying to me too.
@@DavidSusiloUnscripted I think 95% that you are right. However, I have strange language In my car manual that says if USB hub is used, only two closest to plug ports car will read. I didn't try this yet. For me was upsetting enough absence of CD slot and android auto stops verbal direction during my call. I hope I will fix it, but on line some says it is part of the design, some says there is an setting that will fix that. So far none of them worked for me.
@vladm9096 I tried using both powered hub and a non powered hub, it doesn’t work in my VW or my Volvo. My Mercedes has 2 active USB that I can connect two data devices at the same time.
If your head unit have USB movie playback capability them yes. This is only the optical reader. The audio and video capability relies on your head unit’s capability.
There is no Peugeot in Canada so I can’t tell for sure BUT if your Peugeot is using Android-based operating system (you can ask your dealer), then this unit will be 100% compatible.
The thing is that with me I have about 3000 CDs and I still buy CDs rather often. I don’t have the time to extract the CDs all the time. It’s simpler for me to put a disc in. Hence my need for a CD player.
@@DavidSusiloUnscripted Does it need to be the exact portable player shown here? The one I got was more of a rounded shaped one that came with headphones. But I plugged it into the usb port in my vehicle, and couldn't find it at all on my car's info screen.
“Car audio Hack “ I have a hack for my nightstand lamp. I bought this thing from Amazon they call it a “ Light Bulb “ and hacked my lamp. It makes sunlight in my room at night. Video coming soon
Because there is no point. While the cars transmission is in D, no video will be shown on the screen anyway. Besides, I no longer own anymore DVD. I have bluray and UHD bluray but no more DVD
the dvd does not work and nobody knows how ti put it to work an all the pages i have looked so donot sat is a dvd is just a cd player is a piece of junk
Why would you want to see the track info or listing if you already know your cd's music content? Satellite radio I understand. Worthless would be buying this and not being able to play your cd.
