I'm not sure it's even a thing, but what I have long wanted is a dash receiver with a large capacity hard drive. My entire music collection on my dash, no discs/USB sticks/external media players? The bee's knees.

6 or 8 years ago I had to replace a stolen car stereo. Every single model had a CD player. It was like where the CD player went to die. I got a very good deal on a Blaupunkt with a CD player and an AUX in. Some 4 yrs later I wanted to buy a new car stereo. Now none of them had CD players at all. Usually a USB slot and maybe an AUX in. I bought one, but between the interface and the sound, I went back to my Blaupunkt. I use my CD player occasionally, I'm more partial to the AUX in to connect my Fiio music player. I use the CD player on the way home from the record store to listen to stuff that I still haven't ripped into my player.

My 2017 Traverse came with a CD player. I’d much rather have a car with one. You can just grab a CD off the shelf and bring it with you. With a USB or iPhone, you have to plan what you want to listen to in advance and load that music ahead of time. This is true, but as you can have hundreds of albums on a USB stick, you only have to do some very general "planning". I usually just have the USB stick in the car and once in a while add or change some of the stuff that's on there. My car actually still does have a CD player, so I COULD just grab a CD off the shelf and take it with me... but that really has not happened. By now, even the few occasions where I have actually used the CD player (like when I just bought a new album and wanted to check it out right away), I found it less convenient to listen to a CD in the car, as the display (usually) just shows "Track 1" instead of the actual track names, artist names, cover art, etc.
