I got tired of watching my large CD collection gather dust so decided to try this portable CD player. It fit nicely into the console of my Honda CRV and I found no need to secure it with the provided tape. Inserted the cd and it showed up on the car play immediately after restarting the vehicle as usb. Music started up immediately and sound was very crisp and clear. I would have liked to seen the individual tracks titled but they only show up as track 1 etc (no biggie). I really like this product!
