Is there a standalone CD Player that can be controlled by Bluetooth Audio or Android Auto ?

[QUOTE="jack63ss, post: 8745713, member: 682926"] Huberoy123 I have tried 2 different CD/DVD USB standalone players and my car audio won't work with either. The system recognizes there is a USB device but not how to access the content on it. As for the SSD, I really didn't want to reformat, as there is about 2TB of photos and music on it. However, I found that I could plug a USB flash drive into the car and play directly from it. So I bought a 128GB USB flash drive for $20 and used Windows Media Player to Rip all my CDs onto it. Then I just plugged the USB into the system and everything worked fine. It showed all the albums, and I could browse or select by title or artist. Problem solved. (Although not sure how legal all that is). Then I found a feature on my car (this is a new car) called My Honda Music that allowed me to upload all that music into my car's system memory and play it from there. So now I don't even need the flash drive, except to transfer content. Not sure how much storage there is onboard, but I uploaded 47 albums and used 63% of the memory. That took about 8GB on the flash drive, so I'm guessing there are about 12GB in the car. Oh, and it will upload pictures and documents as well, although I have no idea why you would do that. I wonder if that means I could play a video off my flash drive ?. SO I am happy. This solution is actually better that a CD player. SilverSquared Thanks for the reply. That was kind of what I was looking for. That one would probably pair with my Radio Bluetooth app, which should allow me to use the cars speakers, but I couldn't control the playback. I am kind of surprised that no one makes a player that can connect to the car via Bluetooth so you can play AND control everything from the car's info screen. But as noted, I have a solution and it only cost me $20, so I'm happy. Thanks All, Jack [/QUOTE]
