In my Skyline it's Andoird MP3 only, but that's for weight savings and the fact that the original radio was stolen before I bought the car.

For my other cars, they've all got Kenwood KIV-701 mechless headunits. By not having CD players they're around 500grams lighter than OE and no spinning motor saves a few mah too (possibly offset by the colour TFT screen).

Consider how long an 80's boom box ran on just a bunch of D cells. Not much drain comes from music unless you've got a lot of subs.
