Rip your CDs to a bluetooth capable device like a cell phone.

Either that or spend the money and replace the factory head unit with one that has both a CD player and BT. One will be far cheaper than the other.

CD is gone by the way of cassettes.

I too suggest transfer all CD to smartphone, guaranteed to work and you will have your whole collection on the palm of your hands without swapping CDs.

If u just need the nostalgia, replace your factory radio with an aftermarket with CD built-in, is just money.

you could also do what they did in an action spoof movie and have a theam band following you as you drive around ....

I do recommend ripping all music to your smartphone or even to the car's internal hard drive if it has one.

But if you must continue with CDs they do make a device that will let you play cds without taking the car apart and replacing its radio system.

If your new Hyundai has a USB port you can rip all your CD and transfer them onto a USB drive. Leave it in the car and you always have all your CDs ready to play. It will hold far more music than your phone.

I have a supplementary question - if you rip all your CDs to SD or USB, how do you find the album you want?

I have done this with a limited number of live gigs on a USB but the details don't show up on the car stereo unit.

I'm sure there must be a way of doing it!

Did u watch the video just above you? That's how u do it with a Hyndai. Refer to your car's own user manual how to do yours. Every car maker do their own thing.

Yes, but do you have to do something while ripping that allows the file info to be read or does the CD have a digital signature that transfers?

Sorry if this is an obvious answer but I've only ever ripped live performances as I like physical music.

Thanks for the response.

Yes, but do you have to do something while ripping that allows the file info to be read or does the CD have a digital signature that transfers?

Yes.

A common thing rippers do is to obtain the metadata (album info, artist, dates, blah-blah) from a publicly available database repository (this happens behind your back) and write this info into a so called ID3 tag attached to your .MP3, so that's how a player can deal with your ripped files.

I said "common" meaning you want to make sure by again, consulting your car stereo's manual, it will tell you specifically what it wants. After having consulted the manual and u still don't understand what it's asking you, pose your new question again.
