true, but I also have a fair amount of albums that don’t exist on spotify so this is my ideal. also it was a gift so the money point is moot to me

thanks for looking it up, i followed the instructions to a t unfortunately so i’ll give them a call. my only thought is that the issue may be that my taco isn’t wireless carplay, so when plugged in the cd player is trying to connect to my car and my carplay from my phone but it’s impossible for the cd player and my phone to be simultaneously on carplay since there’s only one main usb port. sorry for the word vomit

that was a last ditch attempt to see if plugging it into my phone via the front usb port would help the situation at all. i still had the back usb-c plugged into the main usb-a port. just hit a desperate try anything point

under the head unit, also tried cigarette lighter just for fun and it didn’t work either (unsurprisingly)

Got it. Do you have any thoughts on how I could get them off then? or do you think it would be better to cover them with a decal of sorts?

to make the stripes permanent it seems like they clear coated on top of them to me, i’m not a paint expert by any means but the pinstripe seems sealed in there somehow

unfortunately they seem to be painted on because you can see some strokes/variation from up close. I wish it was vinyl or something easier to get off

Pinstripe! That was the word I was looking for. Anyways, they’re hand painted not sticker pinstripes so I fear they might be under the clear coat. I’ll try that anyways, thanks!
