We got it because out toyota's cd player died and only got the tape decker left; we needed something to hook up ipod to hear music.
pros: it does what it is supposed to do. Easy to work and good volume without having to play with it as other models reviews mention.
cons: you can hear a pretty loud hissing noise that is the cassette playing. You need to put music pretty loud to mask noice but beware not to put it too loud from ipod as we did this and almost blew our speakers (we heard pretty loud boom noices and did not know what it was-sounded like something exploded- until we figured it was speakers... :-( ).
It does not charge the ipod battery so make sure you have a lot of batttery if you inted to use it for long trips.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I wasn't expecting much from this adapter, for only $17 I thought it was worth seeing if I liked how it worked. I put it in my car and at first the sound was a little fuzzy. But one trick that is helpful is put the car stereo volume down low and the mp3 volume up to your liking, then you don't hear hardly any static at all. Well, at least this trick worked in my car. I would reccomend it. It beats paying $100 to listen to music in your car.
I hope i helped.

I've noticed that depending on the car, the cassette player may make a lot of noise. There's also a cassette noise over the speakers as well. Volume is also tricky to adjust with this adapter. Just like someone else said, best bet is to turn your car volume down and the ipod volume up the loudest to withhold the cassette static noise, but you wont be able to get maximum volume if you like your music loud. I've also noticed that my car tries to switch sides on the tape while my iPod is playing. I'm not sure if it's the cassette adapters problem or my car, but since my car is only 3 years old, I'm assuming it's the adaptor. So that's a little annoying but...All in all, it's a good product for the money.
What's great about it: CHEAP and does it's job, less static
What's not so great: Cassette noise, wire, ITS A TAPE ADAPTER

I bought this for my ipod and it works great! there is no humming or buzzing in the background....sounds crystal clear. Once you get the adjustments of the volume right(which is not tedious), you are ready to rock!
What's great about it: No buzzing or humming in the background

I used to get these things for 10 bucks, well almost 20 years ago...
It does what it is supposed to... Pop it in the cassette player, plug it into the MP3 player, adjust the EQ and you are set...
What's great about it: Ease of Use
What's not so great: Price

This thing appears to be better than the other choices I had to play my iPod through the car radio.
What's great about it: The audio sounds very good on my 2004 Honda tape deck
What's not so great: The cable to iPod is not very good
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have had this adapter for a couple months now. At first when I would use it in the car, there was a noticeable clicking noise when in use. A little over two weeks ago the tape adapter would stop, start again, then stop, then play again. This process would go on until it either started playing smoothly again for a few minutes (and repeat the process) or the tape deck would spit the adapter out.
I eventually figured out that the problem is one of the wheels (with the little teeth that connects with the other wheels) in the adapter has become loose. I have no way of fixing it. In the mean time I have resorted to using my sisters Sony tape adapter. No problems there.
If you go the tape adapter route, you are better off spending a few dollars more on a better brand. I have used both Sony and Panasonic with no problems there.
What's great about it: Price, sort of..
What's not so great: Device made noise, eventually broke
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have one 12" alpine type R in my car, and currently i am useing my monster tape adaptor, but it became very noisy after the teeth on the tape wheel was not working right... So i went and bought the dynex one while shopping around one day, went into my car plugged it into my ipod, and got no bass output what-so-ever... So then i went back to my monster and it worked completely fine... Dynex did not give me the sound quality i was looking for at all....
What's great about it: Its cheap
What's not so great: It completely cuts out the bass
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
