Factory/OEM Car CD Player

Improve Your Vehicle's Audio With a Factory OEM Car CD Player

A high-quality factory OEM car CD player lets you play multiple types of CDs, including both manufactured and burned options. One of these audio players can take the place of your original vehicle radio and provide you with a comprehensive music-listening experience. Understanding all of the features of these CD players can help you decide if they are right for your car.

What kinds of features are available with these players?

• Auxiliary input: This feature allows you to hook up different types of music players to the unit in your car, creating a more diverse range of options.
• Satellite radio: Some of these units are set up to work with satellite options, meaning you can use them to pick up even more channels.
• Steering wheel controls: Hooking your disc player up to the steering wheel controls lets you change the song or even the CD while on the go.
• Song programming: Create a private playlist by programming the order in which songs play from your CD. You can even loop the list to play CDs endlessly while you drive.
• Automatic turnoff: If you want your CD player to turn off after a specific amount of time, it is possible to set it to automatically turn off the audio when you wish.

Are multidisc CD players available?

These units often come with a multidisc option that allows you to play multiple songs from different albums while you drive. These albums must be inserted in the unit before you start driving, and they can be shuffled and adjusted in a variety of ways. You can listen to one album all the way through before changing to another one. You can also create a randomized playlist that switches between multiple albums while you drive. In this way, you can create a constantly changing listening experience.

Do these units work with AM/FM options?

These units are compatible with a broad array of AM/FM options. You typically get two FM controls that allow you to set up multiple channel options. In this way, you can create a custom listening experience for each person who drives the car. AM options are also available, although the channels are usually fainter and harder to hear. This effect is due to the differences between AM and FM waves and the longer distance AM waves typically travel to reach an antenna. It is not a flaw in the unit.

Can these units work with Bluetooth?

While these items may not have built-in Bluetooth connectivity, it is possible to hook them up to a Bluetooth adapter. These units typically plug into your cigarette lighter and connect with a specific FM station. Some Bluetooth devices connect to a USB port, allowing you to play music through an MP3 device and sync it to your unit. You can also take phone calls while on the go, and you can even dial your phone using voice activation.
