    Doesn't work with my car, but I think it is not the CD player's problem.

    Works as advertised, which can't be said for another CD/DVD portable drive I purchased several weeks before this purchase. Was plug-n-play on three different Win10 systems I tried it on using data CD's, data DVD's and movie DVD's.
