Oh, I think there's plenty of potential customers for years to come as it is. I also doubt that CD players will be removed from new cars since it would be a massive inconvenience for essentially no gain.

Consider this: If they don't include a CD player in a new car, they can't charge you more money down the road to replace it if it breaks.

I was probably being too 'western centric' with that thought. I did see some cars at the Houston Auto Show (at Reliant Center in January) this year (same models as in dealerships) that had moved past having a CD player (I can't remember which ones though ). As discussed in different sections on multiple threads, some features continue in less developed parts of the world (usually re cost) after they have become less popular or have disappeared from the U.S. and similar markets. I think the CD will, probably slowly, follow that trend. So, you're right, and the potential demand for the linked product will probably be present for a fairly long time.
