OE Integrated Vehicle CD Player with USB Radio Connection - MIT-USBCDV2 | Compatible with Multiple Car Models | Perfect for Upgrading Car Audio & Playing CDs/USB Music

I have a new-to-us 2020 Ford Escape, which did not come with a CD player. I went to the best local shop in town and they installed the only external CD player they carry--and it was a bad experience because the player had to buffer all the songs into memory before it would play. It would take over 15 minutes for 1 CD! Not a good experience at all if you are used to popping in a CD on the drive to the grocery store.I went online and researched. I found the MIT-USBCDV2. There are 2 models, and I took the chance on this one--mostly because I know Amazon has a good return policy. Well, we plugged it in and it performs beautifully!INSTALL: plug in USB.USE:1. Turn on the radio.2. Put in a CD.3. Wait for 15 seconds (for the index to buffer )until the Audio Source "external USB" shows up.4. Press the icon. Music starts playing.5. Press Next/Previous on console or steering wheel and it plays those songs.We tested this out on older CDs, newer CDs, and ones we recorded ourselves. All of them worked. The sound comes through the car speakers. Life is good again!
