Hi,
I have a lot of CDs and no streaming services. Puma has no CD player. If I bought a portable CD player with Bluetooth, does anyone know if I could get it to run through the car's excellent sound system?
Cheers,
Derek.

I have no idea of what is required, but a standard accessory https://shop.ford.co.uk/products/puma-cd-player-10-2019

Welcome to the forum..
Can't you put them all onto a USB stick? This will save space and be much more convenient. Or if your CD player doesn't have a USB connection think about getting one of these (or similar)...https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lehwey-Externa ... 514&sr=8-3
If you use the Bluetooth connection you may lose your phones hands free function. Not 100% sure of that though.
All my CD's went about 7 or 8 years ago and I have never looked back to be honest.

Yes I just did this. Windows will rip CDs natively these days. Save each CD into its own folder, let media player find all the data for them and them copy to a USB stick formatted as exfat.
Takes a little while to recognise the stick but then your away. I have a tiny 256gb one plugged into the port near the gearstick.

If its any help - a CD player was an option in the first couple of years after the Puma launched - my first Puma in 2021 had one fitted so there are Pumas out there which may come onto the second hand market with them fitted

I think this is the one that the early ones got fitted as an extra,. You can still buy it now and have it fitted, but it's bloody expensive for redundant tech.

It went in the glove box - there was a tray inside which it slotted into

Same here. USB or phone all the way.
It's so much more convenient. You can make playlists etc too. If you're going from scratch it does take a while to set it all up but once you do it's heaps better.
