Pro Star CarPlay CD Player

The Pro Star unit adds a single-slot CD mechanism to 2020-2026 Jeep Gladiator JT models that left the factory without one. It draws power and data from the vehicle’s existing USB port so no extra wiring or tools are required. The device is designed for drivers who still want physical media playback through the factory infotainment system. Buyers whose vehicle lacks a USB port cannot use this product.

Plug-and-play indexing behaviour

After connection the player indexes each inserted disc for about two minutes before the tracks appear on the factory display. Interrupting that process forces a full restart with a different disc and a repeat of the setup steps. Once indexed, playback is controlled entirely by the original radio or steering-wheel buttons. Users who expect instant track access like a built-in changer will find the wait unavoidable.

USB port bandwidth and placement limits

The player relies on the vehicle’s single USB port for both power and CarPlay communication, so that port is occupied while the CD unit is in use. Cable length restricts mounting to locations the tether can reach such as the centre console or glove box. Vehicles with only a charge-only USB port or no data-capable port at all will not support the device.

Questions about this item

How much heat or noise does the Pro Star USB CD player add during long drives?

The unit is powered only by the vehicle USB port and has no internal fan, so it adds no audible noise and negligible heat during extended use.

What must my Jeep Gladiator JT already have for this CD player to work?

Your 2020-2026 Gladiator JT needs a functional factory USB port and the original radio or steering-wheel controls to operate the player.

Will the Pro Star CD player interfere with the factory Uconnect system in my 2020-2026 Gladiator JT?

It connects through the existing USB port and is controlled by the stock radio or steering-wheel buttons, so the factory Uconnect system continues to operate normally.
