Customer Review: Sony makes THE BEST cassette adapter...
Summary: 5 Stars
I've tried ALL of them, kid you not, I promise you I have.. and the Sony has the best sound quality hands down. It has a solid build quality compared to others, and seems to just click into place more firmly than others. If you've used cassette adapters, you might know what I mean.
Forget using an FM modulator, the sound is SO bad from those. Outside of hard wiring a mini-plug input into your stereo, this Sony adapter is the way to go.
IF you have any troubles, a couple tips:
- If you have low sound volume issues, double-check your volume setting on your iPhone/iPod. Put the volume to 3/4 on your device, or turn it up all the way, then back it off a little bit. Don't turn your volume all the way up! Also, you have NO IDEA how many times I've seen people with the volume all the way down saying they have to turn the car stereo all the way up.
- If you're having quality issues with the sound, check your iPhone/iPod's EQ. Try playing with the EQ or turning off all of them. Adding a Bass Booster gives horrible results with my stereo.
- Most all tapes will "click" a little in the player, and you can prevent that a little by sticking your finger in and slightly moving the tape around as it's playing.. sounds like a lame fix, but it works like a charm. Also, try cleaning your tape deck with a cleaner product, that helps.
All n all I love the Sony adapter and so do all the people i recommend it to. If you can't get this one to sound good, then you should consider having an installer put a mini plug jack in your vehicle. :-)

BEWARE of the ads toting this product as an iphone or ipod adapter for your car. the jack size does not fit the port.Customer Review: Review for Walkman/Ipod Tape Connect
Summary: 5 Stars
Simple - and works great! only problem i found was that the headphone jack sometimes would only pan everything left instead of equally - but that can be remedied by just adjusting the jack slightly. Sound quality and noise is probably the best you can get unles your ipod connects straight into the stereo. For the price im enjoying the product - just wish it could recharge also!Customer Review: Nice and reliable

I recently changed cars and my new car didn't have the aux input, so I had to buy this adapter for my Ipod (Ipod Classic) it works great, the noise is minimum and the sound is awesome, I prefer it 100 times over the FM transmitter, the side A side B feature in every cassette player will help when the sound is extremely low, you just have to press to change the playback from one side to the other until you get the full sound.Customer Review: Save your car stereo!

I purchased the adapter, having faith in the Sony brand. Just like others have commented it worked ok the first use. The gradual clicking noises or cassette being spit back out wasn't a concern to me since I have an older car and some adapters wouldn't work. The sound wouldn't play out from the driver's side speakers, and was somewhat offsound, which I tried to fix by changing settings on the car and cd player settings. What I am perturbed the most about is that the adapter quit working while in the cassette player, no big deal. But when I attempted to eject the adapter, it made a clicking and quit. SO I have had the adapter in my radio for the last 8 months. WHY? The car stereo guy checked it for me and said the adapter is broken in the player. An $80 dollar job to remove the console/stereo and get the adapter out. If it broke my cassette player, I have to replace the whole system. Think twice before buying cheap on anything that may end up affecting something that will cost you alot more!! I sure expected more from Sony.
