I have CDs I like to play lol - I’m a little old school don’t know about USB drive playing tracks.
Only way to get a factory CD player in 2019 was with the B&O system. Best bet would probably be a portable unit plugged into the USB or using Bluetooth.
So something might be available in the future?
Sorry but I doubt the dealer knows what they are talking about. You would have to replace the center stack if you wanted the factory player. If you had Sync 3 with the 8” screen there is a stand alone CD player that would work with it. But with the base system it would hardly be worth the expense.
Years and years ago I copied all my CDs, 300+, into a separate hard drive. Yes, it took a long time. Back then I'd transfer the stuff I wanted into whatever portable music player I was using at the time. Now days I've got that music on a memory card in my phone. In the Mustang I've got several way to get music. Sirius is my go to means. I can travel and not worry about constantly looking for stations and since it's live I still feel connected to the outside world. I also have a lot of music on an old Ipod that lives in the center console. Or I can bluetooth my phone to the radio and use the music on it or stream from any number of apps, including audio books from the library with the Overdrive app. Since my '18 EB Premium has a CD player I've even got that option though I've only used it like one time.
Like I said he called the powers that be and that is what he said. I stood at the counter and listened to the whole conversation so he might know what he's talking about!
Yup, didn’t read that quite right. He said it wasn’t an option. Ford dropped CD players in all Mustangs except for the B&O. It is considered old technology. Cannot see them bringing it back. OP also has the base 4” screen so he really has few options.
