CD Player in 2017 Golf All Track

I’ve had my car for two years and finally saw that the CD player is in the glove box; I feel like an idiot that it’s taken me this long, but I’m also wondering, why in the hell did they put it in there? I still have my CD’s from years ago and will totally listen to them, but it doesn’t seem SAFE to have it where it is. I’m not always going to have a co pilot to change them out.

And no, I don’t have a laptop or computer to do the whole SD thing…
