Every radio head knows that vinyl sounds better than CD.

I'm going with a 3.5mm bluetooth adapter option. Just need to figure out which. I do love the record player, though.

Thanks everyone.

Way overdue update:

I purchased a SoundBot fm transmitter that gets power from usb: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01N31AQ68?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

The old portable RCA cd player came with a power adapter that plugs into the 120v outlet in the back seat, which I discovered is only powered when the engine's running. The cd player sits on top of the wireless charging pad. The sound is basically fm quality, which is fine.

Next step - tucking a record player up under the glove box.

remember when you had those little pads with a bunch of springs under them to sit the portable cd player on so bumps wouldn't mess up the song?

Yes, I'm old fashioned. I would like a cd player (Cue the "You still use cds/dvds/physical media?"). I still have a couple of portable cd players, but I can't seem to find a 3.5.mm to usb adapter. Has anyone found such an adapter, or tried one of those car cd players on amazon that play and charge through usb-c?

Thanks in advance.

I'm looking for the exact same thing! I have a bluetooth cassette tape player that I purchased from We Are Rewind...I can never get the bluetooth option to connect and so I need another way to connect it to the vehicle. The Ford Ranger won't let you connect anything to the USB except a USB flash drive with music files on it....WTF...?! I have seen a couple of options in Amazon that I might look into but nothing has transpired yet. I mean, how hard is it to stick a 3.5 aux plug in the vehicle for anyone to use, right?!

I’m looking for an 8 track tape player……

Sounds like you found a good solution.
Similar setup to what I have done to get my phone to stream onto non Bluetooth radios of older vehicles, I have one in my 2001 Ram 2500. Just tune the radio to station needed. .

I think Ram was the last truck to offer it as an option, and it was a single disc player located in the console or under the center seat.
I think that ended after the 2018 model year.

I have lived through, 8 track, to cassette, to CD, to now streaming from the phone in my pocket.
‘I don’t really miss any of those old medias. lol

Hard to beat tapping a button on the steering wheel, tell Siri to play the song I feel like hearing and in 1-2 seconds it’s playing for me..

I don't, but I stuck with cassettes for the car and portables for the longest time.

I still have a 90's Sony "Sports "yellow waterproof boombox AM/FM/Cassette that will not die. Sony made some great electronics. They were the must have radio to take to the beach,pool, etc. If I ever need to play cassettes in my truck, I bring that with me. I use it at the campsite sometimes. My child is amazed by the portable technology that existed back "in the 1900's"

I do not have the player but I have some matchbooks that u can use to keep it from skipping tracks.

I just burned all my CDs to mp3 files and loaded up my usb stick works great sounds great and you don't have to worry about your CDs in the heat of TX weather.
