Default CD Changer

Dumb question time. I've been 100% streaming for a very long time and now I'm getting into bands that just aren't published on Spotify or Amazon Music so I'm using the single CD in the HU. When I look at source, I "see" a disk changer but I can't find it in the vehicle and am fairly certain I don't have one. But if I did, where would it be???? I know, dumb question and couldn't find the answer easily online, so thanks in advance.

And no, I didn't read the manual yet.

Can you use a VIN decoder to see if you have a changer?

It would seem the discs are loaded directly into the PCM/head unit using the load button just to the right of the disc loading slot.

Online manual

Thanks and really appreciate it. Sorry for the lazy question. My HU doesn't have this functionality so that's that.

Kinda off the subject. Have you considered downloading the songs to your phone and then playing via Bluetooth. I heard somewhere that’s what someone else is doing. I would never download music without paying.

Depending on the year, I believe the single CD player can read 'burned' CDs. You could put multiple CDs onto a single disk in folders and play them from the one CD.

Have you played around with the Jukebox at all? You can load music on a USB stick and copy it to the internal hard drive. I haven't tried, but realizing that Bluetooth streaming is likely resulting in poor audio quality so I should give it a try.

I used the 'jukebox' on my old '16 CDiesel which had PCM 3.1. It worked well and was easy to use. My current 17 CS has PCM 4.0 and apple carplay so now I just use my phone.
