CD slot? Unfortunately those days are gone. Just like the cassette and 8 track.

I suggested extracting the music to a USB-C drive instead of a USB drive because it eliminates the need for an adapter. If necessary, USB to USB-C adapters are easily available and inexpensive. Additionally, any Windows computer can transfer music directly from the CD drive to the USB.

Your car should have come with adapter(s). Both of my 167s have.

I wish the USB in the center console was lower in the 450. I have the storage tray so anything plugged into that is in the way if I want to remove the tray. For now and until I find a way to move the USB or add a location discretely, I have it plugged into the location next to the charging pad.

I think the USB consultant must have been missing during the interior design. At least they have cupholders this Century.

True. The cupholder consultants minimally consulted the touchpad consultant as that wasn't the best design either. Hate it when I grab whatever out of the cupholder and barely brush the touchpad and change the station or song I'm listening to. And my touchpad sensitivity isn't high either

Since we're on the topic, are you folks able to play video files? I read it does but when I tried, I only heard the music. And of course, the car was parked.
