very true, maybe they did. BTW---I've still never seen mentioned which car(s) besides the C7 that CD players are unavailable.

I use a 128 gig Patriot Rage flash drive. Holds everything including audio books with room to spare for my "Emergency PC Repair" programs.
CD players have a lot of moving parts, they fail. Flash Drives have 0 moving parts. I've never had one fail (though I did have to reformat a different brand once because the files got corrupted, that's when I switched to Patriot. The one that gave me issues was a Sandisk)
Flash drives and SD cards only tend to fail because of the amount of write cycles. That's why I keep a lot of extra SD cards on hand for my Photography and video recording.

added additional ones I had or recalled and have another SD Card with those. They play in a shuffle mode as soon as I get in the car. No paying for XM, no back sides of hits etc etc!
PS: I'm only 73 so not old enough to reject new technology but did go thru poor quality AM radios, 8 Tracks, Cassettes and floppy disks and IOMEGA Drives for my computer!

Getting audio books from CD to jump drive is a challenge. Many of the audio CDs do not have a consistent naming convention from disc to disc and the jump drive player does not have preferences as to how to play the files (name sort or date created order).
Most books would fit on 2 CDs and with a 6 CD changer, I could load up 3 books to listen to. Now I have to go through a lot more steps to be able to listen to a book in the Vette. PITA

That'll give you a good explanation for how to do your audiobooks so they aren't one big file, and you can export the playlists.

There was no CD player in my 2013 Camaro. Not sure if I could have ordered one. I think not. Since I don't have any CDs anymore I didn't bother to look.
