Customer Review: Ipod player for old cars.
Summary: 5 Stars
If you want something that will honestly work with old car stereo's this is the way to go. The price is very cheap and simple to work and it works with an ipod. For the longest time I was using a device that transmitted my ipod through the radio signal via the old lighter. This worked great till the signal was lost. If you want something with a reliable signal that will cause little aggravation this is the way to go. Cheap simple and easy.
Overall:
1. Yes it works with Ipods. If your headphones can stick in the device this will play it.
2. It is cheap.
3. It is reliable.
Is $35 worth a wireless signal that can be lost as simple as a man on a family holiday? No! Get something cheap that has a good reliable signal that won't let you down.
Customer Review: works, but not well
Summary: 3 Stars
I did not have high hopes for this (nor any brand of cassette adapter), so I can't really say I'm disappointed. Lots of people say their adapter makes a clicking noise, and this one does just that. But I tried the usual remedies of taking out the middle gear or turning the cassette over and those didn't work. Also, my stereo does not have an autoreverse button.
So... the thing "works" in that I can use it to play music from my mp3 player, but the clicking never stops. It's actually not so bad on the freeway, where you have to turn up the volume enough to drown out the clicking. But around town, it's really annoying and I just don't use it.
I'm thinking of wiring in a jack at the back of the stereo, but this adapter is a C- solution.
Customer Review: Tape adapter works wonders !
Summary: 5 Stars
The Philips tape adapter I purchased is working great. I use it everyday to play music from my ipod through my suv's speakers. The sound quality is great, and I'm happy with the product. The only thing i've noticed that isn't perfect, is that if you turn the car speakers up close to all the way (I'm talking blow you out of the rig high) without any music playing, you can hear a slight "sssssss" sound. It only becomes present if you have the volume really high. If you play music with the ipod volume low, and the car volume high, you can hear a faint "ssssss" but it is very mild. If you turn the ipod up, and the car radio down, the "sssss" goes away. You can listen to your music way too loud, without hearing any extra sound with this product.
I love it.
Customer Review: Very nice.
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm surprised. This thing works very, very well. I have it in a 2006 Acura TL, perhaps the last year they stuck a cassette player in a car?? Anyway, the entire musical spectrum is passed. There is no drop out in the low end. There is no discernible distortion in the high end. Playing my iPhone through this sounds every bit as good as the original CD.
The only negative I notice is that when the car is off and no music is playing, you hear the faint mechanical hum of the cassette mechanism churning away. I'm sure that as soon as I turn the motor on and start driving, it will no longer be an issue.
Again, very pleased and I'll report back if it falls apart in an unreasonably short time frame. (I just got this today)
Customer Review: It is what it is...cheap junk!
Summary: 1 Stars
Don't count on this piece of cheap junk to sound decent or work longer than a few days. I had a problem with it from day 1, which was the middle of last month. First off it kept ejecting until I persisted pushing it back and and it stuck and played. It did play my MP3 for a while, but made a loud clicking noise(after reading other reviews, I guess this was the gears) that was loud enough to ruin what ever music you could hear. I only got it to work a few times, today it decided to not play at all. Every time I push it in, it ejects...over and over and over...I give up. Might try to send it back to Amazon, not sure if it's worth it. Basicly I got what I paid for, a cheap piece of junk...buyer beware and buy elsewhere.
