Haha. Well thanks for replying anyway. You can go on the build and price tool and do the 19 model and it's in the L1 pkg. Which is what i thought i bought since they didn't update there site early in the year when we placed our orders. I feel like an old schooler wanting my 8 track player to come back. Ahhh the good ole days
Are we brothers?
Nice write up. Honestly for me it's not so much about the CD player itself , it's that huge space were it's supposed to go with just the 4 little media plug ins. Your right , I can do all that stuff no problemo but that big old space annoys me, that's why I wish the CD player was there. You have got that whole massive infotainment area packed with technology and then this huge space at the bottom with 4 little plug ins.
do you not have the little storage cubbie where the CD player used to be?
Nope, there's a little cubbie down below in the bottom of the center console. The media plug ins take up that whole area.
Wellllll SOAB, that would of been nice to break things up a bit. From what I've figured out with a little research is that whole plastic molded fitted piece is the whole phone charger assembly, wich i already have. Would be an easy swap for sure but the only ones I've seen so far are around $250, and that's w/o the CD player. Not worth it to just get a little cubbie. It will just have to annoy me I guess. But then again, I guess since you pd the extra couple grand for L2 pkg you got the upgrade. I just couldn't do it for cooled back seats and 17 speakers, and oh yeah, a cubbie to. Yes I'm being a smart @$$
8 track all the way baby, nothing like that big tape getting wrapped up around everythingRich,
Just add a cassette player for all your mix tapes.
Or maybe we can find you an 8-track.

Give ‘em hell Rich !!Well I just put up my fight and I was right but get nothing for it, hahaha. An actual person from fca just called me to discuss the cd player not being there when it was advertised early in the 20 season because they had not updated the build site from 19. She said your right there was and is a lag on the build site to keep things current but a CD player isn't offered anymore. I proved to her that it's still showing up in some trucks or there is a little cubby space there for storage, either of wich I didn't get. I explained that you can go online right now and look at pictures and see that there all different, and that my whole beef is that I just want what wad advertised at the time. She said your right it was but there but there's nothing I can do for you now as it's not offered anymore. She was very polite but it was a whole back and forth thing that wasnt going to change in any way. She was typing and taking notes the whole time and said that they are keeping track of issues just like this so if there is an abundance of these complaints that they can then react. When i explained that even the cubby would suffice, that it's just that while big area with 4 tiny ports in the center looks horrible with all that packed in technology and at least with the cubby there's that and plug ins are off to the side, not just a huge wide open area. She said unfortunately they change things all the time like this. Told her i was a bit disappointed that i didn't get what was advertised when i ordered and if they were doing away with the cd player why didn't the price on the L1 pkg go down, but instead it went up a 100, wich i didn't pay. So hey, your right, but sorrrryyyyyyyyyyy.
So I say lets all join in a class action suit to get our 80s cd players.
Im just kidding fca and ram care, that big ole space just annoys me. The only fix I can see is, that whole area where the phone charger area plastic form and you can get different versions of it online. It would be easy to pop it out and exchange it, but just for a different plastic shape with either cubby or cd openings is around $360 and thats just for that phone charger plastic fascia piece with out any cd player included. Im going to starry a protest infringe of fca " bring back our cd players", lol, just joking of coarse. Now y'all can start making fun of me, but I had to try
Thats what I do, hold em accountable. I told her that I wasnt happy about it, but not enough people have spoke up. Im definitely not gonna spend the 400 for a little plastic cubby, but I do wish I had it to break up the huge chalk board area down there. Oh well, can't win them all. It might date the truck in 10 years but i do wish it would of had the cd player for this old school guy. She said, well since you waited for the 50 gal tank that you lost out on the cd player, she laughed at that one. Maybe in a year I can get that phone charger cubby plastic mold somewhere for a 100 bucks. She even called my salesman in AR and inquired about my build sheet and she said your sm actually stood up for you and said that he had to agree with me that while it wasnt technically on the build sheet that upon the design process that it was listed as one of the details on the L1 pkg, and that there website has fallen behind in keeping up with the changes, ie: ttpms and aux camera build code and not being able to select the tube steps with different designs. Oh well, I'm packing my "BRING BACK OUR CDS" picket sign and heading up to Detroit fca and voice my opinion, because it matters.
