Good evening. I am the lucky owner of a lovely Mazda 2 but I am really missing my CDs! Can anyone recommend a portable CD player that will connect to the infotainment system so that I can still enjoy my CDs, please? (Yes, I am old &#128518. I tried one from Amazon and whilst I managed to connect it via Bluetooth and I could hear the CD whirring away, I couldn’t get any sound through the car speakers. Any advice/guidance will be very gratefully received. Many thanks.

 

Welcome to the forum

 

Would you be better off putting them onto an SD card or USB? I’m not sure what you’ve got in there in terms of connections but that may be a better way of having them all together. I know my dad did that with his Skoda when he lost his cd player.

 

To answer some what you question I know it is easier for some to give alternatives, but I totally understand what you want to do.

The challenge is to tap into the speaker outputs and then use a line out I would recommend the LC2i - AudioControl. Now you can get a simply and inexpensive cd/dvd player and install it in the glove box.

I did this with my 2019 Mazda 3 that came with a factory BOSE system and it works great.
