To the OP, don't fret about not having a CD player. Here is what you do:
1. Buy a good portable CD player with shock protection or memory (or go find yours that you put in a box 5 years ago in your basement). 2. Order a headphone jack to headphone jack cable. Monoprice sells good cables for dirt cheap. Plug it in to your AUX port. 3. Enjoy your CDs in your Camaro! This is what I've been doing..... I still have my Panasonic portable CD player from my freshman year in college in 1995. It still works great and has 20 second memory so it'll never skip while driving. I actually keep mine in the glove box since the armrest binnacle is useless. My audio cable and 12v power adapter are long enough. No you can't skip songs with the steering wheel buttons you have to use the CD player itself. But that doesn't bother me either: my first car was a 1985 Buick Regal and I used a cassette adapter for my CDs like many of us 90s kids did at the time, so it's the same principle. Now, for the whole argument over why anyone would listen to a CD, buy a CD, or even know what a CD is today..... I have way too many CDs to put on my iPhone or USB stick. I don't have the time to sit down and rip them all - I own about 1500 CDs. Probably more. Lost count. Many of my CDs are the 3rd or 4th reissue or a bootleg or a relic. I'm like the old vinyl guys only with CDs. Last edited by fastball; 09-26-2017 at 06:21 AM. |

simple high voltage CD player w/ pre-outs is the only way to go.

You cannot install aftermarket head units in any 2016+ Camaro. Now, you can install your own amplifier, sound processor, and speakers, but you have to pull the signal from the factory Bose amp in the trunk because that is where the factory sound processor is. |

There is a device that is supposed to be able to sit inline to the screen that allows you to have an hdmi input to the screen from an arbitrary source. Then you can run your own audio from that to your own amp that doesn't use stupid MOST ...and you're golden.
Not sure if it works with 6th gen as nobody i know of has tried it. http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=394922 That would be probably the best solution to bypass the Bose amp at this time. Some audio company needs to create a MOST -> analog converter. Just another middle finger to consumer choice and the aftermarket ...two things these companies hate because they dont control them. |

Then do one of the many android/car pc instructables - reusing the mylink housing. Of course, we could avoid having to do all that ugly hacking if an audio company would make a MOST to analog converter. |

I'm referring to just the screen module. All the modules associated are behind and beside the glove box.

This thread is awesome lol
Hey guys do you think GM will bring back the cassette player? Why can’t I get a floppy drive port instead of a USB? Do I have to install my own cellphone antenna?! |

I'm not surprised that there is no CD player in it. My iMac doesn't even have a disk drive. If you put the cds on your phone it won't use data if you're not streaming them. Your music collection can then be controlled by the nav screen or with Siri. For the price of an album a month you have every CD you could wish for. They can be downloaded to not stream and use data.
The gm comment isn't accurate, my wife has a Yukon XL Denali with a Blu ray player in the dash and it plays CDs also. |

Sounds like a "Lets go back in time and technology post" LOL I have CD's still and use them on my 2004 saturn beater since it only has am/fm/cd player in it. MP3/4 is a no brainier these days, i can have hundreds of songs on a tiny ass thumb drive rather then a 15 track CD ect. Hell, i still have massive cassette tapes sitting here wondering why they collect dust. I spoke to them in private and told them its the 21st century stay in your coffins LMAO. Ahh the good old Benzi box days... Where are you now HEHEHE
