I thought this was possible, but never thought about the 5V input!

That's gonna skip over eeeevery little tiny bump.

Depends if the CD has a buffer and even then might not completely solve the issue!
Also that is addressed on second page of article.

That's funny. I'm an opportunist and I can appreciate this. One of my favorite cheap rockin stereos from back in the day was a kraco 140 watt car stereo amp that I got for $10. I put that in the slot where the stereo should go. Then I ran a high dollar high tech (for back in the day) auto reversing hand held tape player with am/fm. It had bass boost and a 3 band eq. It jammed and had all the features of a car stereo. Amnd I got it for free! My friends were all shocked and thought it was cool. I had a bazooka tube, a couple of 6 by 9's and the 4 1/2's in the dash. That was in my second festiva circa 95.

I have so many out date 'puter components it nice to see that they might still have some life left in them!
And as they say "who's going to break into your car" for one of those!

LOL..I remember those , I had a Kraco stereo (K mart) once about 32 years ago , thought I really had something , we always referred to them a Kracked, Krackel , it was always full of static ..LOL

^ even better...... I made a guitar amp out of it eventually. I still have it! I gigged with it with a full band with drums!! I plugged my green guitar into a micro amp. It's a 9 volt battery powered belt clip marshal amp. Then the amps headphone output into the amp. Then I powered the kraco with a car battery charger. I ran that on stage all night with 3 different bands for about 5 hours.

Mine was actually clean in the car and as a guitar amp.

:lol: the previous CD player was i beleive $630 the display screen was like a miniature TV, it was that clear but the subwoofers caused enough vibrations to skip the CD playing so i upgraded to this CD player that has a USB port and i highly recommend to anyone buying a new CD player, find one with a USB port

I'm likely going with a car 'puter and Amp!
store everything via MP3 have access via touch screen download via wifi on the road or ethernet in the garage and so small the CPU/PS can be hidden in the consoles hollow areas or maybe the ash tray!

I think that'll be my next install as well :lol:
