I use it to interface my Garmin 660 with my 2001 Tundra pickup so I can listen to my recorded music from the Garmin in between route instructions. Works great.
The other reviews did scare me a bit as thought my car would be one that has auto reverse but was not the case.A great investment, would not think twice about buying it again, not just for the product but for the speedy delivery too :) This was a great buy, have not regretted it. I bought this a year ago and have not had to replace it yet.
Consequently, I tossed it as it was not worth the trouble to return. This item does what it is supposed to in the sense that a CD player, or MP3 player can be heard through the car radio. In my case, when inserting the adapter into the tape player it activated the tape transport mechanism and the mechanical parts in the adapter made a lot of noise.
There is no hassle with tuning, you just insert the tape, plug in the iPod and it's ready to go. It plugs in directly to the headphone jack, so it will work for all kinds of mp3 player and iPods. He has a first generation iPod touch and I wanted him to be able to listen to it on car journeys.
I don't know if the problem was the tape or the tape deck, but since we pushed it in fully we haven't had any problems. So far we have used this tape for dozens of hours and it has been easy to use, reliable, and very enjoyable.I would recommend this product for anyone with a tape deck in their car. The sound quality is very good, not as crisp as a CD of course, but way better than FM transmitters.
I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend. At first we had an issue with the tape deck ejecting it constantly, however we finally pushed it in more firmly and it stayed. It is great value and works better than any other product I have tried for listening to an iPod in the car.
I looked at a lot of different products but came up with a lot of problems - not compatible with the touch, cigarette lighter plugins that are too bulky, FM transmitters that won't stay tuned it, poor quality products that break quickly.Finally I decided to go with the tape converter. As for noise, it doesn't hiss or tune out like FM transmitters I have used, though there is a quiet but audible clicking noise if you have the music on at a low volume.I haven't had any problems with it turning over etc as others have described.
I barely worked, very low volume. I tried it as soon as it came and promptly returned it.
