I know this seems very basic to most people but ive largely shunned technology, or change in general. I still buy cds. I dont know shit about mp3s or bluetooth or any of that. Problem is my new truck doesnt have a cd player and i want to listen to my shit instead of satellite radio. So right now im going through the tedious proccess of ripping all of my cds onto an external hard drive. After i do that, if i can copy it all onto a thumb drive, can i just plug that fucker into my dash and my shit will show up on my "infotainment screen" or do i need to put it all onto a micro sd card, put that in my phone, and hook my phone up to the truck?

Thanks, but i really dont want to have to find somewhere to mount that. And it would need to be plugged in. And requires an app. Lot of silliness there. Im already ripping my shit. Seems like just having it all on my phone would be easier. Just not sure how it works, or if just a thumb drive would work or what.

Just rip the songs then put them on your phone and use Bluetooth. If your phone came with a media player app it should work fine. Otherwise you will need to get one.

Your used manual should contain some kind of directions.

You'll need to paid your phone with the car.

This will involve turning Bluetooth on in your phone too. You could probably to an internet search of "how to pair my phone with my car" or something like that.
