Breez Posted December 14, 2022 Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 Has anyone found or recommend a CD player that plugs in the usb port. I see some on Amazon. Just don't know anything about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted December 14, 2022 Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 They won’t work. Just rip the cd to your computer and copy it to a usb flash drive. It will hold thousand of songs and you can access then with voice commands. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that the purpose of the USB ports, to be able to plug in a media audio device? Are you staying that, say one of these, won't work? https://www.autopartstoys.com/products/apt-usb-cd-player-2019-2020-ford-edge-compatible-radios-8-3-3-will-not-work-with-extension-cable-aptusbcd01-fd-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabangsta Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 I tried a few different ones on my 2017 Escape out of curiosity, because the bluetooth adapters that emulate a thumb drive didn't work either, and nothing worked. I had these for other reasons and borrowed one to try as well. My Escape had SYNC 3 and a CD player (which I hated that it still had), but music on a thumb drive works as expected. I am beyond happy to not have to deal with optical removable media in a car. While I generally use CarPlay or Android Auto and stream, or on those rare 15 minute occasions I don't have internet access on my cell phone.

enigma-2 Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 Good to know. By any chance did you test the connection with a cd in the unit playing? These units need to have a cd playing in the unit in order to make a USB connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wants digital storage or a digital playback like a thumb drive, ipod or phone. Some new one like the one you linked might have a digital interface so those might work but I wouldn’t count on it. Using a USB flash drive is just so much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
