CD player

Hello all,
I'm looking for some ideas for a CD player workaround. Loading files onto an SD card or flash drive is not an option. I have a client who is looking to be able to play/load different CDs on the fly. We have tried a bluetooth transmitter off Amazon and the vehicle fails to recognize it. My next idea is perhaps an aux-to-USB converter cable, but before springing for that I was curious to see if there have been any particular workarounds or products that has worked for you guys. Thanks in advance for any input!

Of course I haven't tried it, but maybe there's a hack to make these work. Good luck.

It is the ticker that displays the current interest rates on CD's.

Ya'll are just hilarious -.-

But quick edit, failed to mention this but we're trying to connect something to his normal, old school portable CD player. Any reason why an Aux to USB wouldn't work?

i'm sure it would work. it's only 5-6 usd on amazon, so little risk to give it a try

maybe try contacting Crutchfield with your question ... if anybody has (probably) tried to make something like this work, they might just be the one

Just purchase a portable USB CD drive. They are cheap - about $20 including shipping.
