There are 3 Types of installation for the CDUSB-DELUXE
- Using the single USB cable and assuming you have confirmed the vehicle you are attempting installation on is covered by the fit chart .JPG, simply connect the USB cable, mount the unit and you are done.
- If the vehicle is not on the fit chart .JPG, proceed to using the CD player adapter. Plug the USB cable from the USB CD player into the provided input on the adapter, connect ACC power and ground to the adapter power and ground leads, take the provided 3.5mm mini jack audio output and plug it into the vehicles provided 3.5mm audio input and then mount the provided dial controller somewhere convenient and accessible and you are complete.
- If the vehicle is not on the fit chart .JPG and does not have a 3.5mm mini jack audio input, take the USB AUX cable that is provided in the box and proceed to connect that to an open USB data input port of your vehicle. Please make sure the USB port you choose is for data and not just for charging only. This adapter is designed to an emulator which will adapt and convert the USB port to a 3.5mm mini jack input. This will allow the 3.5mm mini jack audio output connector from the CDP-1 to connect to and provide audio to your factory radio system.
Install Summary Instructions for adapter:
- Connect 3.5mm audio plug to car audio input
- Connect USB to CD player USB
- Put control knob in easy access location
- Connect red wire to ACC 12V
- Connect white wire to chassis ground
Functions for controller knob:
- Knob quick left – previous song Knob quick right – next song
- Knob push – play/pause
- Knob hold left – volume down
- Knob hold right – volume up
If the vehicle has an in-dash screen and the USB CD Player does not appear as an audio source:
Check to make sure the CD Player is plugged into the USB port for data and not the USB port for charging. The charging port is usually marked with a lighting symbol, but it could be faint and hard to see. The charging port will not work to connect the CD Player to the car.
Also, make sure to disconnect any USB extensions and plug in the CD Player directly. Some vehicles have sensitivity to USB cable lengths. USB signal is based on a specified length to allow for proper functionality and transmission. As an extension cable is provided, we cannot control the pre-existing factory length. Combining both the provided USB extension cable and the factory length may result in an improperly functioning or nonfunctioning unit. It is best to attempt installation based on using the built in USB cord first.
*If the CD will not play or skips:
Step 1. Insert CD
Step 2. WAIT. If the unit begins to auto play, still WAIT. The indexing process is being performed whereby the USB hub in your vehicle is building a table of contents to follow. This can take up to 15 seconds. If at any time this indexing process is interrupted by skipping to a song or pausing or unplugging or changing the source, it will interrupt the table of contents and it will skip songs, miss songs, play 10 sec then stop or just not work at all.
Ford and GM display on the screen that the unit is indexing and to “please wait”. It will even tell you when the indexing is complete, but make sure to still give it 15 seconds even if it only took 3 seconds. Other vehicles may not display anything on the screen. However, you must still wait for at least 15 seconds for the CD to index before pushing any buttons or trying to fast forward, skip, play, etc.
If the indexing process gets interrupted, you must eject the disc. Then insert a different disc to purge the vehicle USB hub. Let it index for that CD, then eject and reinsert the original CD. Let the original CD index again. Once finished indexing, it will be ready to listen to.
*CD Controller Re-sync:
Your CD Controller is fitted with a buffer re-sync procedure. In the event you leave your vehicle with a disc in the player, when you come back and decide to change the CD, the buffer will need re-syncing. Simply, push the dial in and hold it for 3 seconds. The buffer built-in will reset and you can then begin to play your CD’s.
- These CD Players work with ANY vehicle using the included CD Player Adapter and have an extremely low defect rate if properly installed. Please make sure you let every CD index for 15 seconds before trying to fast forward, skip, play, etc.
- Make sure you have read the Installation Instructions included with the CD Player and also located on the site page in the User Guide PDF, as well as this online Troubleshooting Guide located in the images. Please also view the helpful installation videos on the site page.

FAQs
The answer is yes, as it is a universal programme whose goal is to provide you with a successful CD player installation outcome regardless of the automotive design.
I have no idea why yours stops functioning. Mine keeps on playing between pit stops.
The most recent model of your car probably has a USB port. A USB adaptor for a CD player should be purchased and connected. You ought to consider a power source. Choose a battery-operated player or look for a plug-in wire that your automobile will accept.
Put your favourite CD in the CD player after it has started. Two ends of aux cables are attached to your car’s aux port and your portable CD player, respectively. The “AUX” setting on your car’s sound system should be used. Turn the volume up and choose “PLAY” on your CD player.

According to Autoweek, the demise of the CD player began about ten years ago. Since then, a number of automakers have kept CD players in their vehicles, along with the nostalgic memory of motorists putting those little, metallic discs into their dashboards.
If your stereo has a “force eject” feature, use it to remove the CD. If this doesn’t work, attempt once more after starting the car. When the engine is off, some car CD players have been known to break down. For these players, try hitting the power and eject buttons while the engine is running.
To get rid of all the loose dirt and dust, use a soft-bristled brush. To get rid of microscopic particles, use a compressed air can or an electric fan. Wipe the surface of the CD player panel with an interior cleaner.
As you turn your ignition to the accessory power position, press and hold the EJECT button. To get both discs to come out of the machine at once, try gently inserting a blank disc about an inch into the player and repeatedly pushing the EJECT button.
Check the description to determine whether the item will fit in your car. I followed the directions exactly, which is why it was successful.
The CD’s damaged or scratched tracks are typically to fault. Check a couple more recently released CDs to see whether the skipping behaviour continues before assuming the player is at fault. If not, you may want to think about fixing or cleaning the disc so that it may start playing regularly again.
This is a sign that the eye that scans the data lines on the disc is having a problem. It requires professional cleaning and calibration before it can resume functioning.
Make sure the disc’s playback side is face down when placing it in the disc tray. The player might not be able to read the disc if it has damage, such as scratches, fractures, or is unclean with smudges or fingerprints. Wipe the disc with a delicate, dry cloth to resolve the problem.
Hi-fi systems, or at least the speakers, turntable, and amplifier components of those systems, should last much longer, roughly 10 to 20 years. While only having a lifespan of five to ten years, CD players are less durable.
