........to educate a dinosaur.
I've got my new wheels now, it has a radio, with Bluetooth connectivity and a USB slot on the front.
I rarely listen to the radio as I prefer my own choice of music.
I've got used to having a CD player in the car but no longer have that.
The simplest option I suppose is to swap out the radio for a CD player, but what else could I do?
I have a feeling it might involve an mp3 player - but I refer you back to the first line of this post!

Re: It's time .............
ive got a nissan qashqai. its got a cd player. but i dunno where all my cd's are....
i activated apple music. now i just look up whatever album i want to have on and play it. or whatever song i think of or set playlists up.
mind its a tenner a month like. but if ya listening to albums you dont already own i guess its not so bad. its only a couplea quid a week.
in my old car i had a load of cd's in the multi changer thing and the damn thing had to cycle through them every single time i started the car up

Re: It's time .............
I have an ipod touch, I just plug it into the audio input socket. My OH I can conenct it via bluetooth
The thing is CD's really are old hat. My ipod touch can hold the equivalent of sh*t loads of cds (don't know how many) so rather than having to find a CD you can select a track, AND / or you can make play lists. In short you can "pinch" tracks from any album or other play list you have to make a new play list. I am still not 100% with what it can do, but trust me its better and cheaper than installing a cd player. I would never go back to cds.
Oh, the other thing you can get are "pod casts" Its what talk / speech you hear on the radio, edited so it has no ads I get Mystery Hour, from LBC and they are free.
Ipod touch
CD player
Then you have installation on top.

Would you hit a nail with a shoe because you don't have a hammer? of course not, then why work on anything electrical without a means of testing Click Here to buy a "tester" just because it works, does NOT mean it is safe.
If gloom had a voice, it would be me.

Does that involve the use of the smart-phone which I don't have?

Can I get my existing CDs onto an iPod?
I've just been reading the destructions again which has given me an idea - can I just put my music onto a USB stick somehow?

Even I know that cassettes are old hat - although my Berlingo has a cassette player: but it's old - like 2001.
