I HAD a similar problem and we bought a new car two years ago and it came without a CD players. We live in a remote area where sometimes good music is hard to get. But they are happy to sell me a subscription to a radio network. But I have plenty of CD that I would like to be able to use. I frankly do not like someone else dictating my life to me.
I bet your car has provision for a flash drive. My son and I have Fits (the car, I mean, not the medical condition), and each one has two ports for flash drives. We have small USB drives with hundreds of songs, so we always have an assortment of music. I have a 2015 with a CD slot. My son's 2020 cannot play CDs.
From 2014, "Most cars now have USB ports! There are definitely entry level models that don't though."
This drive is about the size of my thumbnail.

And the actual chip inside, that stores the data, is smaller than your smallest fingernail. I am always amazed when I think about that, and remember the size of the 20 MEGAbyte hard drive I paid something like $500 extra for (over a 10MB drive) on my first PC. A drive that would hold ONE (1) raw image from my Olympus camera.

Thanks for the info. I know mine has a usb port but I am to lazy to transfer to a flash drive. Do you know any CD player that I can hook to the USB port?

No-Can-Do. It's official. I cannot add an optical drive if the computer did not come with one. The front panel is different. I'll send it back tomorrow.
