Audio cassette adaptor and option #9 stereo

I have used one before, it did the same thing your's does. I did manage to get it to play once but that is it.

 

Are you sure it's the lead that's a problem?

Works okay with mine - it has a mechanism to turn the other spool and the capstan; without this, many car cassette players will spit out the cassette thinking that the tape is broken.

 

I am using the XM Sattelite adapter that came with my Delphi Sky-Fi Radio. I use this radio in my office and house, as I have XM in the car. This adapter works perfectly well and I have never had a difficulty with it. It plugs into my Belkin iPod Car Adapter and gives a decent sound. Still waiting for Coastal Daves Solution that will allow me to have no wires showing. The XM adapter reminds me very much of the Sony adapter I got with an old cd player.

Good Luck

 

Mine works great. It's a Sony I got for $20 at Best Buy.

 

Here are some photos of the adapter I use (just a cheap one from Argos). Seems to work well, although it sometimes rattles a bit too much for my liking (you wouldn't notice in a conventional car, though!).

I too am looking forward to Coastal's AUX-in so I can fit my player properly in the pocket under the stereo. I hope it has a Mute output so the player only plays when AUX is selected, and pauses when there's a traffic announcement, or when I switch to radio. Anyone know for sure what to expect?

 

I use the Sony $20cassette adapter as well (and I use it a lot), and it works perfectly fine. Never had a problem.

 

My cassette adapter works fine, and the audio quality is FAR FAR better than the FM transmitter I tried (even after I hacked a big antenna onto the transmitter to boost the power up).
