Hi Everyone:

Just registered for the site. I am considering getting a Trailhawk. Can anyone tell me if the "standard" audio system comes with a CD player. LOL yes I know CDs are so passe, but I am old (near 53) and have a bunch of CDs I still like.

I am from near Philadelphia PA. If I get the Jeep I will be using it sometimes to tow my small 14 foot boat, which I have been towing with my 1999 Nissan Altima. Boat, trailer, etc runs a little under 1000 pounds, which is what the Altima is rated to tow.

Thanks
Bob

Welcome Bob, I think the CD player is non existent on the Renegade, time to rip your CDs to a USB stick then you can listen to your tunes from the there.

Hey, I too have a lot of CD's and I'm older than you LOL. When I got my 2015 Challenger, no CD player. In fact, few cars offer a CD player any longer.

But, you will find there is a much better way to listen to your music. My car takes SD cards (the postage stamp sized memory cards). I used iTunes to put much of my music on one (500-600 songs) and can play any song I want without switching discs.

If the Renegade accepts an SD card or even a thumb drive you can do the same. Or, pair your phone with the car and play the songs via Bluetooth.

This Chrysler site says the uconnect 5 system has a CD player.

I know I read something on the forum about the radio being changed and that the CD was gone and buttons are now where the CD was.

CD is going the way of the cassette and 8-track before it. Ultimately I think we will no longer use any sort of media, instead we will have all our media stored up in the cloud and will just stream it.

Couldn't find anything in a Google search other than the manual saying something about a remote CD player.

Best option would be to rip the CDs, I would expect it's fast these days, haven't done it in years.
They even have cd ripping services that will do it for you.
