Matt Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Has any one run into this before? I want to use my portable MP3 device with the cassette adapter so I can plug the wire into the device and run it through the car stereo. Every time I put the adapter into the cassette it spits it back out. Is there a way to make the adapter stay in the cassette player? Thanks.

KHE Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 The cassette/CD adapters are not compatible with the '92-'95 radios. Kevin '93 Fleetwood Brougham '05 Deville '04 Deville 2013 Silverado Z71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFBonnett Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 I do the same thing with my '93 Eldo. The cassette adapter I got from Radio Shack works fine as does another one I got elsewhere. Try a different adapter first. If all else fails there are FM adapters available. Apparently you plug the adapter into your MP3 player then tune to a specific FM frequency to get the signal. FWIW YMMV DFB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted June 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Back to this again. LOL. I did think to try other adapters but they all pop back out. I guess you are right KHE, they are not going to work. I did investigate some more and found those FM transmitters. There is one in the JC Whitney catalog and Radio Shack sells 3 different models, two of wich are not made by Radio Shack.( thats a pluss) They run from 30 to 50 bucks. Just like you said, you plug the unit into the transmitter and tune to it on the car stereo. It sounds pretty good. I will try one soon.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ero1220 Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 I had a Sony cassette adaptor that worked perfectly fine in my Bose Gold unit in my 93. Try a Sony one if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted June 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Thanks for the tip.. I will try and locate one.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted June 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Well it is worth a shot to try a Sony Adapter, we have the same radios. I just ordered one this AM. If it does not work, O-Well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted July 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 Better late then never. My Sony adapter came in early this week just before we went away. Thanks for the tip ero1220, the sony adapter works fine. Today I compared the Sony against the two I have that do not work. The Sony adapter has on one side a fake plastic tape that runs in a loop around one drive wheel inside the cassett. The other adapters do not have this. They are empty on both sides. The plastic tape is sort of spring loaded to hold it up. This must be to keep the tape deck fooled into thinking there is a " non broken " cassette in it. The deck must keep ejecting the other adapters because it thinks the tape is broken. It only cost 5.00 bucks on E-Bay. I plan on getting another one as a spare. Thanks to the board and ero1220 another problem is solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigjayzway Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 You will probably find that the sony will work. My neighbour went through the same thing, and sony is the only one that would work. Big Jay Life is too short to grow up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevyorange Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 I listen to my iPod through a Sony Cassette adapter on my '94 Delco/Bose Gold. Not sure about other brands, I'll have to give it a try though. I don't see why Sonys should work while others won't, they all do the same thing.
