Im just wondering what was the last dvd or cd you burned and what was it for? So you all still use dvds or cds? or have you found a alternative media?

I recently purchased an older vehicle that came with a standard CD player and no AUX input. Setting down to plan and burn a dozen CD-Rs was quite nostalgic. I was surprised the local mega-mart actually had them in stock.

    I had a car stereo like this and I soldered a 3.5mm jack to where the audio comes into the main board from the CD player. The pins were even labelled.

    A CD had to be playing for the amplifier section to be activated, so I burned a CD of silence that I made in Audacity. 👍

    My car has a CD player also, and burning CDs is certainly more convenient than using the cassette player. (I did purchase the car new, but I guess I've had it a while)

    Do the cars also lack radio? Bluetooth to radio transmitters have been around and are decent

    I...I have never heard of these. Unfortunately, the car's antenna was damaged years ago, so I'd have to work the corroded, broken remains out of the socket before attaching a new one. Might do this, thanks.

    Where I live there are few unused radio frequencies.
    And if you drive for 20 minutes to another region you'll find that whatever frequency you were on is being used...
    I doubt that's a problem in the USA though.

    Gotta be easier to use a 10$ bluetooth to radio transmitter?

    I'm no audiophile; but I'd rather jam toothpicks in my ears.

    I used to work at a car audio store. I've installed literal hundreds of them. I guess it's better than nothing; but I would almost rather sing to myself. The only decent ones are the ones that physically plug inline with your antenna. The broadcast style are so limited in power that they don't work very well with the crowded local FM band (I swear some of these stations are broadcasting way above their limit)

    I guess I am probably pickier than most when it comes to sound quality.
