It is obviously cost reduction measures. If you have discrete outputs you don't need the DIN connector at all which is a part produced in lesser quantities.

The checking CD bit is probably due to a bad lid sensor as they seem to go bad by looking at them. You could add the connector but you'd have to get one from a donor console and add in a whole slew of missing components. This isn't something I'd remotely call easy or simple.
