Not even that old. A friend of mine bought a BMW MY2020 and it still has a CD-player (it was an extra, but it was at least still available in 2020).
I wouldn't be surprised if you could still order new car, today, with a CD player.
- nordsieck 4y agoThat's a fair point. But I have to imagine that people who have a choice between AUX/bluetooth and CDs, and choose CDs are in the minority. It's kind of a pain to install a CD burning app (which has long since atrophied from most music programs), plug in a removable drive, etc. I only do it because the alternatives are much worse.
