Customer Review: Coby CA-747 Dual Position CD/MD/MP3 Cassette Adapter
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this adapter to use with an iPhone 3g. It works very well and definately gets the job done well for the price. The shipping was fast and got here in no time. The tape itself connects to the auxiliary cable through a plug that can be inserted straight in or at a 90 degree angle so it can accommodate both types of tape player. I haven't had any problems as far as having to rewind, or tamper with either the car's tape player or the product itself in order to make it work. The only small complaint I have is that the sound is a tiny bit off but absolutely nothing so noticeable that it makes it a bad purchase. That definately isn't an issue though as I'm sure the quality of the tracks themselves isn't top notch either. Overall its a great product for a cheap price and good alternative to FM transmitters.Customer Review: Great. Cheap. Works.
Summary: 5 Stars
I would agree with the majority of the reviews. I purchased this for my car. I don't have the MP3 connection but do have a tape deck. And I wasn't thrilled with the quality of sound with the FM tuners (my brother has one for his car). There is a little bit of a clicking sound that appears once it starts playing, but with road nose and the general nose of the car, it is a non-issue...can't even hear it. The quality of the sound is not as good as if having a direct MP3 connection, but I consider it very good...(not sure it's even fair to compare). I use this primarily for audio books, and I am very happy with my purchase. I have not had to try the fix that some of the other reviewers had (something about needing to take out a pin on the inside of the cassette).
I would definitely recommend!
Customer Review: Just works! Dual position is great.
Summary: 4 Stars
Pros:
- Love the adjustable dual position for the cord. Most players you need to insert the cassette sideways, but I had some players before that you need to insert the cassette lengthwise. You will never go wrong with this adapter as you can feed it to your cassette player both ways.
- Does not look cheap. It looks more decent than other cassette adapters I have that costs 20$
- The coiled cord is great and much less clutter. I had a cassette adapter that has a cord that was too long, it got caught under the seat and the only way to remove it is to cut it.
- Sounds good too with my Ipod.
Cons:
- The only thing I can think of is it still makes noticeable clicking sound while in the cassette.
Bought this item twice already.
Customer Review: Wonderful! And no more interference w/ radio stations!
Summary: 5 Stars
I used to use an FM transmitter device with my iPod when in the car. It worked *OK*, but on long trips (and even sometimes around town), I would get interference from local stations and have to hunt for an open band. And the sound quality just wasn't that great.
With the COBY device, that has all changed. The sound quality is much, much better than I ever got with the FM devices (I've tried multiple). The coiled cord extends long enough that I can even have the iPod on the passenger seat if I want to ...and the pigtail cord gets short enough that I can place the iPod on the console in between the seats without the cord dangling all over the place. This is just a simple, well-done device, performing extremely well and a very reasonable price. How can you beat that?
Customer Review: great value... no real problems yet

I know some people have had issues with these kinds of adapters getting spit out of their tape decks and this is the first time for me using this kind of adapter in my car. i have to say that for the price i paid, i am extremely happy with the product i received. it doesn't always work the first try and sometimes gets spit out but it's been perfect for the last month or so. i guess it depends on your car.
i took a chance because i knew it potentially wouldn't work in my car but this thing is only like $7. it was well worth it for me. i could give up 2 trips to mcDonald's and save enough money to pay for this.
if this product worked every time, i'd give it a 5 but it's not perfect but very much worth the money i paid for it. 4.5 stars if i could.
