Home > Consumer Reviews > Car Cassette Adapter For MP3,iPod,XM,CD,MD,Sirius

when i got this is was happy to be able to play my ipod in a car with only a cassette player. but sound suffered miserably through the stereo. so i was messing around with it and put it in upside down. Sound was great! so put it in upside down and the sound is louder and clearer.

This rather inexpensive adaptor may be okay for most cars, but it does not work in a Ford. Specifically I drive a Crown Vic from the early 90s. The Vic's tape player won't even recognize the adaptor as a tape. It simply goes in and nothing happens. I followed the advice of other reviewers by removing gears, but this didn't change anything.

I use this is conjunction with a cradle/charger/FM Transmitter(not bad but some static) by Belkin to listen to my Zune 30 in my car. It was cheap, but works perfectly and sounds excellent.

I looked at other car adapters, I've had radio transmitters, I've made CD's.... Nothing compares to this. This is truly the best option.

Radio transmitters: Need I go on past interference?

Cd's: Even when you have a 6-disc Cd Player, you're still limited in selection.

Other cassette player adapters... cost more money.

This cassette adapter.. perfect.
-Inexpensive, you can pay twice as much for the same thing.
-Great sound quality, Matches CD quality and beats the crap out of the radio.

I have a Zune 30Gb and this works perfectly. I can listen to my large song library randomly, and have no idea what song might be next because I am not limited to what is on the CD. The sound quality is superb and is only limited by the sound system in your car.

Add in the car charger for my Zune, I have no other way to describe it than perfect.

Immediately it created that crackly noise that you get with old headphones...and the sound quality is terrible. Sounds like it's in a muffled tin can. There are better adapters out there. Keep on looking because this one isn't worth it at all!!
