New on here. Live in Ontario, Canada.
2nd day of ownership. Like the vehicle so far, but miss a CD player.
Will be looking for a solution for that if anyone has ideas. Just easier to pick out a couple CD's from my collection rather than copying onto something for bluetooth access. I know....old school, old boy, new tricks.

I think the simplest option, providing you have access to an internal or external CD player on your PC/laptop/Mac etc, is to rip the CDs and then copy the digital files / folders onto a spare USB drive. That's what I've done and thus I've never used the CD player on my 2016 CX-3. Has the added bonus of digital tracks on the PC which I can play whilst using the PC for various tasks. You can do it in stages rather than spending hours doing all your CDs in one go Bonus in having the tracks all on one USB drive is you can play randomly or in shuffle mode - I think you have the choice of either - if you fancy a variety whilst driving. Also you get track composer information and album art displayed if ripped with that information being stored.
