With the arrival of streaming services, bluetooth or even using a simple pen, the CD player is no longer a necessary equipment in today's cars.

To listen to your music, many should also remember to take a bag with their favorite CDs to listen to while traveling — or even have one in their glove compartment — not forgetting those who chose to equip their car with a box. of CD.

Well, despite not being part of many cars (and even brands), it is still possible to buy new models equipped with this “technological device”.

This was what happened at General Motors, where despite the CD player having disappeared from most of its light vehicles, it was still possible to find it in Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana commercial (twin) vans.
