[Review] Listen to Your iPhone Music Even In An Old Cassette-Playing Car Radio

**prodigy** · 01-03-2012, 08:31 PM

wow.. I feel bad for everybody hating on you for your posting this as a news story..and at the same time why would this be considered news? Even in the day of the iPod, these got brought back into popularity about 6 or so years ago. They are surely found all over for a max of $5-6, why in the world would you have bought one for over $10 with tax? That's kinda like buying an iDevice.

Woah, am I in 2001, had one of these 10 years ago and I wasn't even old enough to drive. Slow news day as usual.....

**NakedFaerie** · 01-03-2012, 08:37 PM

This is so 90s.
I had one of these when I got my first portable CD player about 20 years ago.

An even better addon is the FM transmitter for the iDevice. Doesn't matter what you have as a stereo in your car as long as it has FM radio it can receive a signal it'll play anything from your iDevice.

The problem with an FM transmitter is that if you have a lot of radio broadcasts in the area, getting a clear signal can be tough.

Haven't these been out for a good 20 years by now?

**Henjenagin** · 01-03-2012, 08:58 PM

I've been using this in my wife's van for awhile now. I wanted to listen to Sirius satellite radio on a trip to California without trying to find dead air on the FM dial. There is pretty much no dead frequencies in Cali and it's a pain in the a** when you just want to listen to music.

**letmusicring** · 01-03-2012, 09:17 PM

I sincerely hope this isn't NEWs.

This is quite possibly the most abhorrent and shameful attempt at affiliate fishing that I've seen. Insanity. And it's not even news, what...were you banking on someone forgetting that their old one broke and they needed a new one? Wowowow

Agreed FM transmitters are junk especially with lots of radio transmittions around. I'd take a decent made cassette adapter over fm transmitter myself. Also the iPhone can cause whinning on some fm transmitters due to the cellular signal they are giving off.

And honestly .. who still has a casset deck in their car? if you can afford an ipod/iphone/ipad you can surely afford a better head unit in your car..

This is entirely not news.. it's embarrassing to see it here to be honest =)

Some people like to leave their stuff stock like me, especially when the stock CD player is integrated with other stock features of the car.

Already got one, I have had mine for a while. But that is damn cheap.

**A3gOwner** · 01-04-2012, 12:28 AM

I've got an old one that just plugs into the headphone jack (just like the one in the amazon link above) This ones Bluetooth which is kinda cool because you can use it with any device that supports Bluetooth headphones. So the ones we are saying are old really are. Now I can see why a Bluetooth cassette Receiver (I guess you'd call it that) is news I've personally never seen one but am interested in this. I'm going to buy one just because it's that cool.
