Dear forum,

I have a 2017 Cooper Countryman (base). My wife really likes CDs. I started looking for multi-CD Changer information, but a) I don't see any decent brands in the market, am I wrong? and b) If I manage to find one, is it possible to install it in the trunk? Is there wiring? Has anyone attempted this?

Thank you in advance.

Carlos

 

CDs has been dead, or at least dying for close to a decade, like this Mini sub forum for Mini that is over a decade old.

 

Yes you definitely posted in the wrong section of NAM and your wife needs an audio intervention. Rip all your CD's to a USB stick and be done with the CD technology. Why not have hundreds of CD's in your car instead of 1-6 ? Cost you less than $20.

Several time a year someone makes a post similar to yours and we can usually beat some sense into them.

"Best Buy will stop selling CDs as digital music revenue continues to grow"

 

I hate to agree with them, but yes, CD's are dying on the vine. My wife has a couple thousand she has collected over the years and I'm converting them. It's gonna take forever, but better than rebuying them again. ... and I'm worried about all those cassettes she has ..

 

You'll spend less paying a service to rip all her CDs to digital files, put on a USB drive and have them accessible to any device than you would spend on a CD changer by itself. Newer MINIs can read tens of thousands of digital music files off a USB drive at once, sorted by artist, album, or song title

 

Yep, no factory options or retrofit for the Gen 3, the Gen 2 MINI its was an option and that was the last time they had them. It would have to be aftermarket and I dont know how they would tap in, may wire into the usb/aux input.

I remember the factory CD changer option on my Gen 1 and the MiniDisc option...lol

 

I seem to remember the 2014 F56 had a 5-disc changer that went in the glove box, but it had such a low take rate, they killed it off pretty quickly.

I just had an 18 Justa as a loaner

unless I didn't find it, there was no CD player at all ..... just a USB and aux in ports .....
