Amusingly, I think I remember some of my last ones, though maybe not my absolute final one.
For the most part, I’d already moved away from CDs, but I got a job driving vans which didn’t have Bluetooth or an aux port. I ended up burning a few mp3 CDs für that job some time in late 2014.
Fun fact: one of those CDs contained brony music which I accidentally left in my van one night. I came into work the next day to hear it blaring on the warehouse speakers until I heard someone saying “what is this?” before changing the CD.
The drivers were all talking about it during lunch and I sat there quietly, amused by them trying to figure it out 😂

If you haven’t kept up, I’d recommend some of the “Ponies at Dawn” albums
Recollections was one of my favourites. Some absolute bangers on there
poniesatdawn.bandcamp.com/album/recollections
Ignite starts off insanely strong as well

Brony music is legit! Heck even just the songs by Daniel Ingram are great stuff. I always liked Aurelleah and Jyc Row.

I’m assuming you’ve moved on, but if not, there are FM transmitters for when you want music or navigation instructions from your phone to play over the vehicle’s speakers. Bluetooth or 3.5mm jack ones are both available.

Oh god yeah you’re bringing back some memories there 😂
So I already knew they were a thing, but annoyingly on some of the vans there was only a single 12v socket, and we had to use that sticker to plug in the navigation system/manifest.
So CDs were the easier choice until I got hold of one of those 12v splitters.

The one I had was far bulkier than the one shown.
A lot of the time it didn’t matter anyway because people don’t take care of the vans so a lot of the guys played their shit in the loading bays at full volume and would regularly blow the speakers out.
Sometimes I was going out with a Bluetooth speaker jammed between the dash and windscreen.
I had 100 solutions, it seems. The CDs were just one of them 😂

Can you daisy chain those?

I hope she enjoys the Mini! Though at this point that’s a fairly modern car. 15 years old is 2010 and many of those allow retrofitting factory options for sound. I’m looking to get Carplay in my brand new 18 year old German shitbox that’s both falling apart and in excellent shape at the same time. Mr12volt has kits for a lot of those, but sadly no Minis.
