Two cars ago I had this. I had a MiniDisk player to go with it. I felt like the coolest young adult.
Then I got another car that had a CD player with no AUX port. Had to get a RF adapter. Worked well.
Then the FCC put limits in the RF adapters and they sounded worse.
Replaced my radio after that one with a shamcy one. Got my AUX cable back!
... Now they took my AUX cable away from my phone.

You shoved the cassette into your car radio and plugged the other end into a cd player

Instead of running a magnetic tape over the cassette player's sensor, you put an electromagnet on it powered by the headphone jack. The cassette player just reads the magnetic field and doesn't know any difference.

Yeah, it worked much better than our current USB bluetooth dogle that lags every 30 seconds.
Just because we could not get radio wit cassette player. I still have the cassette adapter. -

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I had one of those up until 2012, because my F150 at the time still had the tape deck. They worked well, and even 2019 I used one in a company truck I had at work. But when it broke I was hardpress to find a replacement. I do know they made Bluetooth versions, but most didn't have good reviews and never bought one to try out.

We were using this well into 2010 or so. Better audio quality than an FM tuner as long as the electromagnet wasn't overheating.
The best option though was to get an inline FM injector and plug it in where the antenna plugged in. Perfect audio.

Got a newer car. Bluetooth included! …with a two second delay. I go to plug my BT-AUX adapter in so I don’t have a delay… NO AUX PORT IN CAR AAAA
