iPod Cassette Adapters
Last modified Tue, Jul 31, 2007

Cassette connectors - yes, these are still around and they are still being installed on brand new cars too! These iPod cassette adapters look like a regular cassette case except instead of a tape inside there is a metal head which makes contact with the "reader" head inside your tape player. A phone cable is attached to the back of these plastic cartridges which you just plug into the headphone jack of your iPod. It doesn't get easier than this or less expensive either.

Please note - to get best results (less hiss and static) clean the car cassette player's tape head of accumulated dust and oxide. Just run a regular audio tape through your cassette player a few times and friction should do the job nicely. You can purchase special head cleaners too, if you prefer..

Another point to note: With cassette adapters, you have two separate volume controls: the one on your car stereo system, and the one on your portable audio player. The way you adjust these two volume controls will affect the sound quality. Too much volume from your iPod may overdrive the cassette deck, causing distortion. If this happens, adjust the portable player volume down, and adjust the stereo cassette system volume up to the desired level.Too little volume from your iPod may result in low output or no signal at all from the car stereo. In this case, increase the volume of the iPod. - Editors
