Because you can set the MP3 player somewhere it won't rattle, and it's not like you're going to trip over the cord. That, and the MP3 player can potentially hold, sort, and play much more music than every CD in a 6 disc changer combined. And it'll do all that while allowing you to skip to any song on the entire thing with a couple clicks. That said, there are also the bluetooth, SD, or Flash drive options that are pretty common in newer cars, as well.

I dunno. 700MB of mp3s lasts plenty long enough for me, and a CD in the stereo still seems more elegant than a device you plug in, or a stack of CDs in a changer in the boot.

The truth of it is, I don't use any portable mp3 player in the first place. Maybe I'm weird but that's kind of a big prerequisite for the USB/aux solution. :lol:

CD's are basically obsolete...

I like having the physical copy and the cool artwork in my hand. So I buy CDs, upload them to my iPod, then put the CD on the shelf, haha! My car's got an aftermarket deck and mount with a little compartment I can keep my iPod in and out of the way. iPod Classic with its 160GB (or whatever it is) for the win... overpriced, but winning.

When people think of this modern era they think of how to play their Ipod or Phone, not the box of CDs the lug around in their trunk.

I personally have no idea why my dad uses the 6-disc changer rather than the Aux port the Honda dealer charged a cool 400 bucks to put into his Accord Euro. My best possible guess is unintuitive-ness but it's really not that difficult to rummage around the Accord's stereo.

The Pathfinder's iPod connectivity though compared to the Honda is refreshingly simple and pretty user-friendly.

On another note, the first thing that went out of the WRX was the Clarion CD player. Burning my music onto CDs with a relatively limited capacity like I had to with my Skyline is so incredibly tedious; the Sony head unit that's in the Rex now makes things so much easier. Dunno what the rattling thing is about either; my iPod doesn't rattle around at all.
 
A lot of cars aren't even with a CD player anymore. The Chevrolet cars with MyLink don't have a CD player, for example.

The same reason my dad keeps asking me a thousand and one questions on how iTunes works (usually the same question in a day). In other words they're older and CDs are what they know, just like iPods, blue tooth and other systems are what we know...

Don't know what else to say, I've heard so many older people look at touch smart phones as if they were space ships from some other galaxy. So user friendly only extends so far as age increases with people, I think setting up iTunes is quite easy but you'd be surprised how hard it is for some people.
 
You would think at the end of this your "Old School" dad would prefer a single cd changer compared to those darn overly advanced futuristic 6! CD changers!

That's the thing though....he literally has an iPod/iPad/iPhone for not only both of his cars, but for every room in the house and knows the ins and outs of iTunes almost as much as I do!

He pretty much takes the term "Apple-tragic" to a whole new level.
