Eight months ago, I traded in the Neon for a Jetta which had both a CD and cassette player, so the cassette adapter wound up collecting dust along with my old cell phone and other assorted items in my electronics graveyard. But this week I purchased an iPod, and I also got an iRock FM transmitter to listen to my MP3's at work and during the commute. Unfortunately that is not the best product in the world. I contemplated exchanging the iRock for a Belkin FM transmitter, when it was suggested to me that I try a car cassette adapter. I dug through the electronics graveyard, and almost thought I had thrown this out when I found it. I plugged it into the headphone jack of the iPod, then played the cassette on my stereo. The sound quality is excellent on this as well. This is an excellent product if you have a car with only a cassette player, and want to listen to CDs, or if you have an iPod and want to listen to MP3's cheaply and easily. A piece of advice, though for those who need the adapter for their CD player: you may want to opt instead for an actual car pack, which has a cigarette lighter adapter for the CD player, otherwise you'll be burning through the batteries like crazy.

You simply turn on your car stereo, insert the adapter into your cassette player as if it were a tape, insert the plug into your MP3 player, and start up your music. Easy! In fact, I never even looked at the instructions that came with it. I think the sound is pretty good and it always works. I had tried an FM transmitter and, maybe because I live in a very populated area, could never find a free FM frequency for the iPod, so threw it away. One of the reasons I bought the car I did was because it had a cassette player so I could use a cassette adapter. Some cars are starting to come with inputs for MP3 players, so I expect that will be the way to go in the future. Being able to play my iPod in the car for my long work commutes has saved my sanity!

Oh, and I ran into the low volume problem when using it in a friend's car -- I only had to change the direction of the tape deck and suddenly I had LOUD volume. Was this review helpful to you?
I have read that this adaptor has not worked for everybody, mainly due to the type of tapedeck that they have in their car. The packaging plainly states that this product MAY NOT work in every car. Unfortunately, it doesn't provide a list of those cars. Lucky for me, my adaptor works perfectly. I have a 1992 Honda Preslude Si, so it's an older car with an older tapedeck. The adaptor is extremely easy to use....just pop the cassette into your tapedeck, plug the cord into the headphone jack of your MP3 player, and you are listening to your tunes. It's that simple. I just leave the adaptor in my tapedeck, so that it's all ready to go when I get into my car. Sound quality is about 7/8/9 out of 10, but tweaking the volumes on your MP3 player, along with the volume on your tapedeck usually can get you very good sound quality. I take it a step further and use the customizable EQ on my MP3 player to custom tailor the sound to my liking. This adaptor is an incredible value for the price, and you don't have to worry about signal drop outs like you do with the iRoc. Bottom line: Until something more high tech comes out for playing your MP3 in your car, this is the way to go. It's very affordable, easy to use and gets the job done. Was this review helpful to you?
