Ok, so, yeah.

If you owned a car from the 60s, from the 70s, from the 80s . . then getting a car from the 90s or the early 2000s was still familiar. You still inserted a key or a fob into a slot to start the car. Radio layout was the same. Everything looked more incrementally evolved.

Alright, so the newest car I've ever owned was a 1995 LeSabre, and that was my then-wife's car. I've owned other cars from 1970 to 1991 models.

And now I have the Mustang. Technology has progressed. I was very close to the "I'm sitting inside, now what?" except that, as a kid, I watched Adam West as Batman, so I knew how a push-button start worked.

So, yeah, the manual says to switch to CD, a CD should be inserted into the stereo.

Great. Where? I've owned cars with stereo systems that had CD players, including those that had remote multi-disc units. But I can't find it on this car.

Please help this guy trapped in the past! Seriously, I have a base GT, with the standard AM/FM CD, and I have ZERO idea of where I'd actually put a CD. Even my (limited) searching for a video on it came up empty.

Yeah, yeah, "who uses CDs anymore?" you ask...

Hang in there King. It will become easier. Look for the narrow slot that a CD might just slide into. Here is mine on a premium.

I did not know this exist. Thank you good sir. I swore that was like a air hole or something.

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only "old-timer" in here. Welcome!

Ah, thanks, found it - yeah, the way it looks, it seems like an almost natural separation between the audio controls and climate controls. I looked right at it several times before posting this question, and never noticed it!

Great, now I'm hearing a voice in my head saying "Dude, you're SUCH an air-hole"
