why do most new cars still have a CD slot? who the heck uses CDs anymore?

it should at least be an option like a 'smoking kit'

i just don't like seeing a slot prominently in the dash that i'm never going to use and just collects dust.

i see dodge now doesn't have a CD on at least the durango!

i saw another model has the slot in the storage box between the seats which is better if it's going to be present.

thoughts?

I still like having the ability to play a CD. There are times when I'm just taking a short drive in the car that I use it. I always keep one mix CD in the player.

I live near the water at the bottom of a large hill, so I do not get satellite radio or FM radio signals there. If I don't bother to bring my phone to either use Pandora or Bluetooth streaming, I just listen to my CD as a backup.

I still use CD's and I only buy physical media including the occasional cassette tape and vinyl.

They should keep them in cars. Cars cost way too much to not have one.

i don't mind leave it in there. the opening for CD slot is slim enough to be ignore, unlike the ugly cassette slots on some of the earlier gen 3 GS350.

you buy cassettes? don't you find having to rewind/ff a pain?

In my LS, I had a JVC stereo that I plugged my phone into.


In my parents' LS that I'm driving now...only AM/FM and Cassette(but no cassettes to listen to, lol). I wish the antenna had broken in the extended position, rather than the inside position.

So am I the only one who watches DVDs in my car during long trips?

I still use CD's. I'm too lazy to rip them into mp3 files . . .

He must just love that natural hissing background sound from cassettes--just the pure music sound...

Rather than getting rid of CD/DVD slots, manufacturers should have panels/covers that hide the media center.

Keep the console cleaner looking...

i'm too lazy to find the cd and put it in the slot. much easier with my ipod. i leave an ipod nano in my vehicle that has all the music i have on it.

Keep the device (I've got way too many CD's to fit on any iPod) but make it less obvious. (I mean I had mine in the glovebox on the 2GS which was nicely hidden (they should have put the tape in there instead) but poor ergonomics changer or not. BTW: I can do without the changer option.

I'm glad my Verano (which is less than two years old) has a CD slot. Life would sure be sad without my Twisted Sister CDs.
