i don't know what everybody is talking about in there earlier posts there is nothing wrong with this product i have 2 of them and the work perfectly fine im using one with an ipod video 5.5g the only thing is that while its on the screen has the white xplod logo on it. and then i have my other one on an ipod touch 1g and u can actually maneuver through it while its on the chord great product by sony it could have used a little more thought but it was still a good buy for anyone with an ipod.

iPod Resetting - Small Workaround
Date: 2006-12-18 | Rating: 3
OK...I'm pretty much in agreement with the rest of the reviews posted for this product on the internet. I was also becoming pretty frustrated with the fact that the iPod would reset to the first song on the first album every time I restarted my car. But after tooling around with the setup in my car I discovered that the problem is that the iPod adapter does not disconnect from the iPod when the radio is shut off. Once your radio is completely powered off (the clock is not displayed), disconnect the iPod and manually turn it off (or let it shut itself off). This works for me since I have my iPod in a very accessible place. Just reconnect your iPod before you start your car again, and music will continue from the song you left off of. Really, all Sony needs to figure out is how to have the iPod disconnect after the radio powers down.

Not too bad.

I have this item connected to the marine stereo(CDX-F50M)on my boat. Even though the box said it was not compatible with my particular Sony stereo I tried connecting it anyway and what do you know......IT WORKED!! I do have to admit, it is a little slow when it comes to scrolling through the albums and playlists but I like it because it keeps my ipod away from the outdoor elements. It was very reasonably priced too. Less than 8 bucks!!

This Item works good with my Car stereo BT5100.

I thought i would have trouble using this product cause of some of the reviews but i bought this along with my Sony Car stereo,BT5100, and it works great with this stereo. No Problems so far and its a good addition to what my stereo offers already. I Don't have to even touch my ipod and it charges it while its plugged to the ipod adapter.

Better than using the FM transmitter
Date: 2005-06-22 | Rating: 5
This is an extremely useful product for people who want to listen to their iPods in their car. It beats having an FM transmitter if you connect a cassette adapter to the charger's audio jack, because then 1) Only 1 cable connects your iPod to the charger, and you get both power for the iPod and audio from the car speakers. 2) The iPod automatically goes into pause when your car (and its speakers) is turned off... something the FM transmitter cannot possibly do. This is perhaps the most underrated and undermentioned feature of the iPod and this charger. You no longer have to fiddle around with the iPod to stop it when you park your car.

A great alternative to the F8V7058-APL
Date: 2004-08-16 | Rating: 5
Belkin's F8V7058-APL Auto kit (the newest auto kit from Belkin) for the IPod gets some mixed reviews. If you're OK with having a tried and true device then this is the car adapter for you. This mobile power cord is great and if you buy the Belkin Tunecast II IPod version, you can power the FM transmitter off of the power cord (using a 14 inch DC power cable that comes with the Tunecast II model F8V3080-APL). It works perfectly, has a light and it has a fuse that can be easily replaced. Save yourself the money and get this rock-solid, perfectly great AC adapter. It functions exactly as you would expect.

a must have...

Great Product, Great Buy!!

This is by far the best car charger for the iPod at the best price. I have read other reviews, which state a possible surge when the car starts if connected to the iPod so I always make sure to plug it in after I start the car. I don't believe this product is as bad as some of these reviewers say it is since I have been using it for many months now with no problem. This is much cheaper and better than the other Belkin car charger. It has worked great, as advertised, and is especially good for long car trips when my iPod battery dies. Thus, I highly recommend this product and belive it is the best iPod car charger on the market.

Good price AND works with the new Ipod Classic
Date: 2008-02-25 | Rating: 5
The packaging does not explicitly say that the charger works with the new iPod Classic, only that it works with "Ipod Video". Well it works just fine with the 160 GB Classic and saves you a bundle over ipod's more expensive car charger. It was made in China though, so be sure to keep young children from chewing on it :-) I just wish I could find stuff NOT made in China.

I don't understand the negative reviews
Date: 2006-04-08 | Rating: 5
I love this product. I bought one for myself and another for my husband's car and we both agree that it's light years better than the hundred dollar FM transmitter we were using before. I do notice that when I first put it in I need to manually adjust the position of the cassette in the cassette player with my finger by just moving it back and forth a bit to find the 'sweet spot' but once it's there, it stays there and the audio quality is much better than we were ever able to obtain from the FM transmitter. The maneuvering only takes about 2 or 3 seconds and, for the price, it's a small price to pay for the product.

Great product!

Product was very reasonably priced, and works great. I have a really old car with a pretty messed up stereo system. I was a bit worried that it wouldn't work, but it's great! Very pleased!

Best bang for your buck

I reasearched all of the FM transmittors for my nano. A friend of mine told me that he just used a cassette attachment that he used on his old cd player. He said it worked great. So I bought this one. It is great. For only a couple of bucks, I get my nano in both of my cars. The only recommendation I would make is to turn off the Dolby switch on your stereo. I find it tends to dull out the highs of the song. Great Product.

We had Coby before...
Date: 2008-08-09 | Rating: 5
We had a Coby before this particular player. We usually have good luck with the Coby products but not the cassette adaptor we bought. We got this one so my wife could listen to her iPod in the car. This one has outlasted the Coby and really has taken a pretty good beating because of the heat in S. Florida vehicles during the summer. I am pleasantly surprised with its performance, and for the money you can't beat this one.

Perfect price for a useful device
Date: 2008-08-27 | Rating: 5
The average price of these 'tape converters' is usually ridiculously high for something with a very high percentage of breaking. This is still working for me, and for the price, is definitely worth every penny.

I love it. Nuff said, but not really. It doesn't look anything like the one in the picture. The one I got didn't have a strechy cord like it looks like in the picture, it's all black except where the blue is which is a grey. But if you don't care (which I don't) it's a good product with an awesome sound quality except at the really loud volumes, which has *some* noise.

Works just fine for the price

Not the highest quality sound (slight hiss or white noise with the volume up fairly high) but perfectly fine for everyday casual use. Mine had a straight cord, instead of the curly cord pictured (didn't matter to me but might to some). Certainly can't beat the price; even when I could FIND one locally it was at least $20.

Extra iPod player
Date: 2009-10-06 | Rating: 4
For those of us who still have cassette players, this adapter is great. You place the cassette in the cassette player,plug it into your iPod, raise the iPod volume level to high, press PLAY on the cassette player then PLAY on your iPod. The music then can be heard from the cassette player's speakers! Cool, huh. This also works the same in your car's cassette player. The only problem I had was in fitting the cassette in the cassette player. I had to work with getting the slim cord to fit so that I could shut the cassette door, but when I finally did it, I was pleased with the results. This under-$10 Adapter is well worth it!

Better than some

The one I received does not have a coiled cord like the one in the picture. I chose this one over others because I thought it had a coiled cord. On the other hand, it works fine. I have had others before that were mechanically noisy, but this one is pretty quiet. I have never had an FM transmitter work worth a darn for me, and it is nice to have a practical use again for the old cattette slot.

Monster iCarPlay Cassette Adapter 800
Date: 2009-09-13 | Rating: 5
I purchased the Monster iCarPlay Cassette Adapter 800 for my iPhone 3g. It works great, although the cassette player will sometimes "reverse" direction. There is only a momentary interuption in the play. This may be more of an issue with the cassette deck (2003 Toyota 4 runner). As an added bonus, the adapter doubles as an adapter for my satellite receiver as well. Based on my experience, I could recommend this product.

I finally got an iPod and really use it mainly for listening to Audiobooks when I'm walking and commuting. I have a cassette player in my truck so this is the perfect accessory. I have not noticed buzzing or white noise or anything like that. It will start to skip back and forth when the battery on the iPod gets low. Otherwise, seamless operation. Good purchase for the money.

Exactly what I was looking for!! ...no complaints

Ok let's put it this way, if your car has a tape deck and no AUX jack, THIS IS THE WAY TO GO! I've tried several FM Transmiters out there, including Monster's product, and this cassette adapter produced better sound quality than any of them. Sure yes, when the volume is up and there's no music playing, like in between songs or whatever, you'll hear a faint hizzing noise. But if you have continous music playing without gaps, YOU'RE GOLDEN!!

Innovative Idea, Works Great with the iPhone, Great Product!
Date: 2009-10-24 | Rating: 5
I spent some time looking at all the options for mounting and playing an iPhone through my car speakers, as well as charging the iPhone. Nothing seemed to fit the bill perfectly. There are only a few options out there for mounts that charge and play music through your speakers--all of which are mounted awkwardly, directly to the cigarette lighter and down out of a safe area view to view the iPhone while driving. They all look flimsy and a little cheap. Finally, after some searching I found this gem. I've never seen an iPhone mount that is literally mounted to a cassette adapter. It's mounted right in the middle of your radio, which is excellent as the iPhone is taking the place of the radio in the first place! It takes up less space than any other iPhone/iPod mount on the market. It really cleans up the clutter that most mounts create. It's easy to view without taking your eyes to far off the road. Tape adapter sound quality surpasses FM transmitters by a long shot. Sound quality is about a 9/10 (FM transmitters are about a 4/10). Really easy to mount and easy to view. It is a little bit wobbly where the mounting piece attaches to the cassette if you physically try to move it (which was a little bit annoying), but I corrected that very easily with a little bit of double-sided tape where the mount connects to the cassette to take up some of that extra space that allowed it to wobble. It was an easy fix to a problem that wasn't that major to begin with. I had a little problem when I received the iDeck. The mounting bracket (there are 4 different ones included) I needed for the iPhone was missing from the package. I emailed Cyanics customer support to see if I could get this piece. They got back to me in just a few minutes with the tracking information on the piece I needed, telling me it was on its way. Cyanics customer support is second to none. I've emailed them a few times now and they have never taken more than 10 minutes to respond (imagine if every company was like that!). The iDeck absolutely works with the iPhone, although the only way to use it as a handsfree unit (where you can hear the caller through the car speakers) is to use an extremely simple workaround that I discovered. The iDeck will charge the iPhone and play all the music, sounds, etc. through your car's speakers without any workaround. Cyanics told me I would not be able to use it as a handsfree calling device, though, because when you answer a call it switches to speakerphone and doesn't play the call through the car's speakers. You can get around this by connecting a 3.5mm cable from the iPhone's headphone jack into the jack on the iDeck labeled "AUX". It works very well. The person on the other end said I sounded loud and clear to them. If you have your car's volume turned up really loud, the caller will hear themselves echoing, but this shouldn't happen at normal volumes. In conclusion, I'm really happy with this product. I'm extremely picky when it comes to this kind of stuff. I consider this the best iPhone car mount on the market. It's a shame it isn't advertised as an iPhone mount, because it works great.

Great Iphone Mount and All-in-One Solution
Date: 2009-11-15 | Rating: 5
First off customer service is great, I asked a question and was answered immediately. Ordered from them on Wednesday and got it on Saturday. I have been searching for an Iphone 3G mount for the last year and just couldnt find the right one since they looked butt ugly or was in a very cheap looking mount. I was waiting for the TOMTOM holder but I will not pay $100 for a mount. This all in one solution product solves all my problems including way to connect my iphone to my car speakers, charger and mount and looks great in my car. When I first heard the sound of my iphone music I was truly impressed and didnt have to fiddle with those FM transmitters which people always had problems with. If you have a tape deck and need a Iphone mount, do not hesitate picking this up.

This is a great product.I bought this because it was the only product with 5 star ratings, and was ipod approved. I was a bit apprehensive because I have tried other units like this with no success. I plugged this into my tape deck in my Ford Ranger and little or no sound even turned up high.I noticed that the tape deck said side 2 and decided to push the button for side 1 and was blasted out the car. This unit sounds great.Just make sure you are on side one on your tape deck.Sometimes when there is a long silence I noticed that the deck would switch to side 2, but all that is needed is to switch it back. The best thing about the ideck is that it works as promised.

Very good product

I tried the fm trasmitter route and it was frustrating. Too many stations to compete with here in Detroit. This product works great in my Honda Pilot. I highly recommend it.

No more FM transmitter for me!
Date: 2008-11-01 | Rating: 5
What I wanted was to use an FM transmitter to pipe my iPod and my Sirius radio. Unfortunately I live in a big city (Phoenix, AZ) and in my route to work the radio stations change just enough that I cannot find any FM stations to transmit on without interference. I have a 2002 Porsche Boxster S and for whatever reason, Porsche put a tape deck in that model stereo. I bought this tape adapter and presto no more FM transmitter! I had to make the modification mentioned in a review for "Coby CA-747 Dual Position CD/MD/MP3 Cassette Adapter" to bypass the automatic tape flip feature. (It seems to be fairly common for people to have to do this with tape adapters.) The Porsche unit has a door that flips open and closed to access the tape deck. This door must be closed for the unit to play. I had to carefully feed the tape adapter cord through the face plate in a place where it did not pinch it upon closing the door. This turns out to be the middle top of the face plate. This tape adapter unit works like a charm. I've only had it for a week but I already love it. One thing I noticed in using a tape adapter with the ipod is that the sound quality improves if I only turn the ipod volume up to 50% and use the stereo volume for the rest of the sound. I plug this adapter unit directly into the iPod. I don't notice any static or distortion now that I balanced the iPod volume.

iPod/Mp3 cassette adapter to play in car

I had heard bad things about quality etc. I was very impressed. It sounds as good as anything else that I play in the car, you can not buy cassettes anymore but now I can play my iPod and my daughter's MP3. And you can't beat the price even if it didn't work well.

Simple but it works!

I looked at other car adapters, I've had radio transmitters, I've made CD's.... Nothing compares to this. This is truly the best option. Radio transmitters: Need I go on past interference? Cd's: Even when you have a 6-disc Cd Player, you're still limited in selection. Other cassette player adapters... cost more money. This cassette adapter.. perfect. -Inexpensive, you can pay twice as much for the same thing. -Great sound quality, Matches CD quality and beats the crap out of the radio. I have a Zune 30Gb and this works perfectly. I can listen to my large song library randomly, and have no idea what song might be next because I am not limited to what is on the CD. The sound quality is superb and is only limited by the sound system in your car. Add in the car charger for my Zune, I have no other way to describe it than perfect.

Great product!

I tried the FM transmitter type car adapter for my ipod, but I've never had much success with that type. This cassette adapter fits right into the ipod audio output (so ipod type does not matter). Once I plugged it in and played it, it sounded great, even though my car is relatively old with a stock sound system. Basically, this product does exactly what it needs to do, and it does it well.

Works very well and is cheaper than an FM transmitter
Date: 2009-01-09 | Rating: 5
For those of us with older cars that don't come equiped with an iPod dock, this is the next best thing. I read reviews of iPod FM adapters that broadcast the music on the iPod to an FM station on your car radio. Every review I read for these products - which cost $70-$90 complained of poor reliability and the difficulty of finding a spot on the FM wavelength to receive the signal as on drove around the country. This gadget has a plug that goes into the earphone jack, and a casette tape that goes in your tape deck. The iPod's music goes through your car's stereo system which is awesome if you have a good system in your car. This is inexpensive, simple to use, and pretty reliable. When using this for the first time, I had a moment of panic, because "this side up" on the tape meant putting the end with the line to the earphone jack in the tape deck; this of course did not fit. I then noticed a groove in the top of the casette. I was able to get the line into the groove and run across the top of the casette so it fit in the tape deck and came out to attach to the earphone jack. This wasn't explained in the instructions for the adapter and might frustrate someone unfamiliar with the adaptors. So now you know!

Amazing Cassette Adapter
Date: 2009-02-13 | Rating: 5
I received this cassette adapter just yesterday. It works great with my Sansa View. I heard no fuzziness whatsoever unless I turned the volume all the way down to the minimum. The clarity and quality of the sound was radio quality or better. The only problem I had with it was not the cassette adapters fault. I have a car equipped with an automatic volume adjuster, so that as I gain speed (and thus increased wind/road noise), the volume of my stereo increases to compensate. When I had that set to its maximum compensation level (perfect for radio listening), the sound jumped by 2-3-4 levels instead of its normal smooth gradation, nearly blasting me out of the car. This was easily solved, of course, by putting the volume adjuster on its next to lowest setting. This almost spooked me into an accident, so I thought I should throw that out there to make sure others knew. But again, this is a great cassette adapter with perfect clarity and quality of sound. Well, well, well worth the price.

I just bought an IPOD, and wanted to plug it on my old cassette radio on my 96 Ford Explorer. It did its job, when the radio system did not work, due to station interference.

Bargaincell Cassette Player Adapter for iPods and MP3 Players does exactly what it says. It isn't the best quality but for the price its great. Some songs play with way too much bass but maybe thats just my car. There is a lil hissing but just turn your music up !

Utilitarian adapter is a good buy for $2.99 delivered.

For under $3.00 you can't get a better cassette adapter to work with your MP3 player or iPod. While advertised as low noise, there is a certain amount of mechanical noise associated with running it. In addition, it picks up a bit of distortion from time to time, but nothing too serious. All in all, it delivers what it promises: the ability to listen to your device through your outdated stereo equipment. It's worth every penny of the $3.00 it cost me to buy it and have it delivered. (At any price point over $3.00 I think I'd be deducting stars.)

a good product gets a new life

I originally purchased this cassette adapter to listen to CD's in my Neon which did not have a CD player. This served its purpose well- great sound quality, the cassette was not loud in the cassette deck as a previous one had been, and I was finally able to listen to CD's in my car during the commute.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.

This cassette adaptor couldn't be easier to use for playing music through car or stereo speakers. Cut the adaptor out of its plastic packing, stick it into a cassette deck, plug it into the headphone jack of your portable music player, and, voilà, music. It's really as simple as that. The adaptor requires no assembly or adjustments to work perfectly right out of the box. This device works only with cassette decks that load with the tape to one side (not front loading), as the cable that connects to your portable device comes out of a short side, so check your cassette deck before purchasing this. The best part is that it works silently, allowing your music to sound as clear as it should. You can adjust the sound through your stereo or through the portable device itself. I've used this both with a regular iPod and an iPod mini with great success. It's much better (and cheaper) than buying one of the FM stereo broadcasting devices because it's never dependent upon available airwaves and never needs re-tuning as you move from one radio zone to another. Highly recommended if you plan on listening to digital music in the car. As long as your car has the correct kind of cassette deck and your portable device has a standard headphone jack, it will work without a hitch. Update to review, several months later: This adaptor started making a clicking sound, and occasionally makes a terrifying electronic buzz that nearly scares me into accidents. It did spend the winter in the car, although my garage never gets below freezing. Unfortunately, I can't tell if this noise problem is because of my old car stereo or because of some electronic defect in the adaptor that cropped up after heavy use.

Easy to use and works great

This is one of those products that simply works great. I've been using mine for about a year with my Apple iPod and I couldn't be happier. 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!

Works great with iPod

I found this a great way to hook up my iPod to my rather ancient car stereo. The sound quality is suprisingly good, considering that it has to be trasferred across several interfaces. The bass is a little weak sometimes, but I'm not sure if that's the fault of this device or my stereo.

Have an iPod? This is the one!

I have used the FM modulators-not useless, but close. Continual fussing with them is a real pain and sound quality is poor to fair. Tried several cassette adaptors--If I hit a bump with one the left had side of the stereo would go out. Then I'd have to eject it and push it back in to get both channels working again. One adaptor my tape player didn't like and would try to switch from side to side-autoreversing direction because the deck thought the "tape" was over. My old Sony cassette adaptor have the manual adjust thing to eliminate cross talk which was more fussing that made it not worth it. This new cassette adaptor from Sony has worked perfect--no more cross talk, no more losing a channel when I hit a bump, no more of my deck thinking the "tape" is over. It does really seem to be self-adjusting. I wish there was a better solution for me to use my iPod in the car like the new adaptor that BMW sells. It would be great have it hard wired directly into the stereo and safely stored in my glove box able to control it from the head unit. Until that solution comes, this is a very cheap and surprisingly decent alternative.
