Has anyone purchased a CD player for their limited hybrid? I’ve been searching online for a player, but I’m not sure if any of the results will be useful. Therefore, if anyone out there has one, please provide a link to it. I want to play one of my over two million CDs occasionally. Thank you, and enjoy your day.

Karen asked on January 30, 2018 at 12:37 information regarding the 2017 Hyundai Tucson 2.0L SE Plus FWD
Although my 2017 Tucson SE Plus didn’t have a CD player, it did have a gorgeous navigation system. I’m attempting to determine how to play my CDs. My concern is: Would the problem be solved if I placed my music on a thumb drive and put the thumb drive in the SUV, or is there another way to accomplish it? Many thanks
Commentary: Is anyone else still listening as Hyundai discontinues CD players in automobiles?
Could CD players in automobiles soon become obsolete? The answer appears to be yes for Hyundai.
The automaker unveiled its updated in-dash audio console at the Consumer Electronics Show last week in Las Vegas.
The brand-new Display Audio System from Hyundai lacks a CD drive in favor of a dazzling touchscreen interface. Instead, it will be a Bluetooth-powered display that supports third-party apps and can be connected to Apple or Android phones. So you can now access navigation, calls, podcasts, news, sports, and whatever else you put on your cell phone while driving.
Hyundai isn’t the only automaker to disregard CD players. In 2011, Ford predicted that two million of its well-known Ford Focus models in Europe would have CD-less digital hubs by this year, and it’s possible that more new cars would come equipped with USB connections, Bluetooth, or multi-disc changers that integrate smartphones.
Is it just me, though, or would no one ever buy a car without a CD player installed?
In 2015, downloading and streaming music are regular activities. But listening to music while driving in the morning and after work is also OK.
I adore the sensation of inserting an album into the player and listening uninterrupted to a single body of work. I always keep a small collection of both new and vintage CDs, which I switch up every few weeks. Even though my listening preferences may seem dated, I have no plans to change them.
Yes, there are times when it is simpler to simply press a button to access my beautifully organized digital collection. To do this, I plug in my iPod, another piece of antiquated technology.
I would never sacrifice the experience of choosing one DVD and watching it through to the conclusion, though. And perhaps it has to do with the way I listen to music.
I listen to music in the morning to get myself ready for the day, usually through my wireless speaker. I binge on the musicians I write about during the day, spin new music, or just lose myself on Spotify or Soundcloud.
If I’m feeling lazy after work, I’ll switch on AppleTV and launch the Vevo app or iTunesRadio. And I like to put on an LP when I’m relaxing with a bottle of wine. And all of the above can be found on any given weekend.
I don’t continually consider what song to add to my playlist from the vast selection of music at our disposal, unlike the PC or my Sonos device. I listen to music while driving and absorbing my environment. Because it’s coming from my phone or iPod, the experience wouldn’t necessarily sound different, but it wouldn’t feel the same. The options are endless when it comes to digital music. When an artist finishes an album, the music on a CD in my car stops or changes.
The only time I don’t try to multitask is when I’m driving (the busy streets of Los Angeles will attest to that), and whatever is playing isn’t just background noise. I’m listening as the CD is playing.
I may be forced to alter in the future if automakers adapt to how most consumers listen, but for the time being, I don’t require access to my complete library while driving. I simply want to unplug while listening to music.
Review of the Hyundai Tucson’s infotainment system
For the 2022 Tucson, there are two distinct infotainment systems available. The Blue, SEL, and SE versions include:
- 8-inch touchscreen display with great quality
- Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
- six-speaker stereo
- 2 front charging ports
- Connected vehicle services by Blue Link
- 3-month free trial of SiriusXM data and audio services
- Qi-enabled smartphones may be charged wirelessly
The 8-inch touchscreen’s benefit is wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which are both standard. This wireless function eliminates the mess of USB connections and enables you to safely store your phone in the glove compartment, a bag, or a briefcase where it won’t disturb you while driving. Hyundai makes mirroring with a phone simple; all you have to do is select the onscreen widget.
For 2022, the Tucson’s infotainment system is entirely digital. Meaning that the stylish but tiny arrows and plus or minus symbols that are less convenient to use on the go have taken the place of last year’s practical analog knobs for volume and tuning. On the steering wheel, Hyundai also includes volume and tuning controls.
Because the new infotainment display is so clear and brilliant, a hood is not necessary. Bose’s eight speakers are an addition to the N-Line model. This system has digital processing, personalized equalization, and dynamic speed adjustment. It sounds richer than the typical 6-speaker audio system.
Along with the Bose stereo, the Limited versions come standard with the following features:
Hyundai claims a wireless system is on the way, even though the larger screen now only supports wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The “Sounds of Nature” option on the improved infotainment system is a cool addition. It may be accessed by choosing the media button, and it enables passengers to unwind to a range of calming sounds. A crackling fireplace, waves pulsating on a tropical island, idle cafe conversation, and more are available options.
All Tucson models made in 2022 have improved voice recognition that supports voice commands by using speech-to-meaning and deep meaning technology. My Limited test car’s push-to-speak feature helped me locate a zip-line company in a nearby town. My request was quickly and accurately carried out using a voice cue and a helpful map.
A diverse range of voice requests can be handled by the speech recognition system. Instead of picking at the tiny touchscreen arrows in the Limited test car, I used it to change the climate control settings.
The 2022 Tucson is equipped with the Blue Link connected car system, just like other new Hyundai automobiles. With the help of this technology, drivers may remotely lock and unlock doors, locate their vehicles in parking lots, start the engine, and adjust the climate controls using the MyHyundai smartphone app. The heated and cooled seats can also be controlled remotely. For the first three years of ownership, Hyundai provides free full access to Blue Link. Blue Link now connects to devices within the home using Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa and is compatible with wearables.
Using Near Field Communications, Digital Key transforms any Android smartphone—including those owned by friends or family—into a car remote. The owner of a Digital Key can start and drive the automobile, lock and unlock doors, and activate the panic alarm—but only when they are close to the car. The duration of the Digital Key’s validity can be chosen by the owner, and it can be remotely cancelled.
Touchscreen Display for the Hyundai Tucson
When examining the 2022 Hyundai Tucson, one should focus on its 8-inch touchscreen. Access to Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, dynamic navigation, and anything else you might need while driving is made possible via this display. To make this touchscreen display even more convenient, everything can also be wireless and digital.
A CD player is there in a Hyundai Accent from 2022?

Is there a CD player in the 2021 Hyundai Elantra?
With its budget car price tag and premium features, the 2016 Elantra is a great option. There are two variants available: a sedan and a 5-door GT that is about nine inches shorter than the sedan. The GT comes in a single trim level, whereas the sedan is available in SE, Value Edition, Sport, and Limited versions. The Elantra is a car that offers a lot of features in a relatively tiny package, regardless of body choice. A 1.8L engine with 145 horsepower powers the base SE, Value Edition, and top Limited models, while a 2.0L 4-cylinder in the Sport sedans and GTs produces a respectable 173 horsepower and 154 pound-feet of torque. The city mileage with this setup is 24 mpg. A 6-speed manual transmission is standard on the SE, Value Edition, and Sport sedans, while a 6-speed automatic is optional on the Sport and Limited models. Customers have the option of either a manual or automatic GT.
The SE includes 15-inch alloy wheels, air conditioning, cruise control, power windows with the driver’s side auto-down, an AM/FM 6-speaker stereo with CD and MP3 compatibility, power locks, and power windows. The conventional rear seatback can be folded down 60/40. The Elantra Value Edition comes with a power sunroof, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter, a proximity key with push-button start, heated front seats, integrated turn signals, and chrome and aluminum highlights as standard equipment. It also rides on 16-inch alloy wheels.
The Elantra Sport has a larger engine as well as 17-inch alloy wheels, a suspension that has been adjusted for sport, projector headlights with LED highlights, LED taillights, integrated turn signals in the side mirrors, and many more exterior elements. The interior features heated cloth front seats, aluminum pedals, a 4.3-inch touchscreen audio display with a rearview camera, and cruise and audio controls positioned on the steering wheel.
Hyundai’s Blue Link telematics system, which combines entertainment features, smartphone connectivity, and safety services, is an addition to the Limited sedan. Along with push-button start, push-button dual climate control, and front and rear heated seats, these features are also featured. The Limited gains a power sunroof, an enhanced 360-watt sound system, and a 7-inch screen housing a navigation system when the Ultimate Package is added.
The practical five-door GT also has 16-inch alloy wheels. Standard features include Bluetooth hands-free connectivity, fog lights, daytime running lights, keyless entry, cloth seating with heated front seats, tilt/telescoping steering with cruise and music controls, and a 60/40 fold-flat rear seatback. A driver’s side knee airbag, a Hyundai first, and a 3-position (comfort, sport, regular) Driver Selectable Steering Mode are also included. Larger alloy wheels, a sport-tuned suspension, aluminum pedals, Blue Link telematics, LED taillights, and other features are all included in the Style Package.
