I'm inside wondering if my fully optioned ST has a CD player. Anyone know if they are options or come standard with the upgraded sound system??

Thanks. I didn't think so but the manual has reference to one. Pretty strange.

It's fairly easy to convert your CDs to a flash drive. We have two; one with my stuff and one with the wife's preferences.

Our flash drives randomly skip songs, and sometimes during a song almost like a skipping cd player. Have you had these issues?

No. Every once in a while, I have to re-index it, but that's rare. Between the two of us, there are probably 3G of tunes. What brand are your flash drives? Are you using USB-3 drives in the USB-3 port?

With YouTube music and such, I have never looked back. Sorry, not the answer you are looking for.

Yes I'm using Sandisk 3.0 and never had the issue in our 2018 XLT. I'm going to use my phone on our next trip and see how I like it.

I have many CD’s and not time to save to a tumb drive. Order a CD player online that have a USB port adapter. The Infortainment system recognize the CD player just fine. No problems. The player sets in the Console and connects to the USB port.

I'm very glad it does not have a CD player.

I get it - I had on the order of 500 CDs that I sent to https://www.musicshifter.com/ to convert for me. It was under $300 total to get a thumb drive back with all of the music converted and tagged.
