USB CD Player For 2024 Ford Edge SYNC4

[Ronno6]

Is there a USB connectable CD player that will work in my 2024 Edge w/SYNC 4 ??

We like to listen to audio books when traveling.

I have tried ripping to USB flashdrives, and have had some success.

Getting all MP3 tags in order is very tedious and time consuming.

But, i find playback to be tedious and extremely distracting.

i have loaded on MP3 players and that plays OK, but, again, distracting.

And the only usable  way to play the MP3 player thru the stereo is by using an FM modulator to transmit to the Edge radio.

 

Plugging in a suitable CD player would make things much easier............or, even an in-dash unit..

A portable CD player with a Bluetooth output is probably your best bet.

I am  not sure that any Bluetooth device will work with SYNC 4

Do BT  CD players have the "Pairing" function?

Do they need to have one?

Much I do not know.

Seems to me that somewhere I informed that only devices compatible with Apple Carplay will connect...

You are able to connect using Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.

The CD player would need the ability to connect to and output to a Bluetooth speaker. The car acts as a Bluetooth speaker.
