The first review nailed the problem for me,it's the clear plastic covering on the silver tape head which in my opinion seems to be causing all the issues.So take it off and happy motoring.

Believe all the bad reviews and don't buy it! It's rubbish.

I've tried it on a number of stereos around the house, and a number of car stereos. The best sound you can expect to get resembles hearing the music under water. It also make annoying ticking noises and confuses the hell out of some auto reverse tape players.

Hello,

I got one of these last week and I was getting almost no sound out of one speaker. I asked amazon for another one and this time I noticed there was a clear plastic tape over the casssette head on the adaptor. I picked this off and cleaned the head with some lighter fluid and the new one worked fine. I then checked my old one before I returned it and it also had this plastic tab over the head. So I'd say if you get one of these make sure you peel this off else it wont work properly. There are no instructions to tell you to do this so its a bit poor really.

Having had many cassette adaptors over the years for my iPod, I figured paying a little bit extra for a supposedly very good one was worth it. I experienced exactly the same problems as other reviewers in that it would only output to a single channel. And even that stopped working within 20 minutes, leaving me with nothing but very base-y static from the left speaker, and nothing at all from the right. A complete waste of money.

It also has a very poor design whereby the cable comes out of the top of the cassette rather than the side like most other adaptors. This made it a very tight fit into the tape deck.


1 out of 5 stars oversize jack plug   October 29, 2005

The jack on this product was a very tight fit on my ipod and damaged the socket. If you do buy it, whatever you do don't push the plug in if it feels tight. Better to spend a bit more money on one of the many other products available I think. I had one made by Sony that worked fine and only wore out after two years constant use. Oh, and I thought the cassette mechanism on this was VERY noisy.
