Customer Reviews

Dissapointed
Having purchased a cheap, good sounding and very efficient cassette adapter for approx £4 i plumped for an expensive model, which was dissapointing. The device continually caused my i-pod to pause, restart and flip the cassette for/back with a mind on it's own. This was in a VW golf 02 gt tdi.

Great concept...
... and generally it seems to be a well-kept secret that cassette adapters provide a much better sound with much less hassle than the FM transmitter based gizmos, and at a fraction of the price. But my car (Audi A4, Symphony hifi) just continuously ejected/ rejected this, though it had been perfectly happy with the simple version.

Great!
Marvellous little extra for your iPod. The sound quality is about as good as you will get given you are transferring a digital signal to analogue and then back again; short of getting an integrated digital connector, this is as good as it gets. It's sturdily built and connects to the bottom of the iPod rather than than jacking into the connector on top. There is a switch which allows you to alternate between fastwarding/rewinding through a song or skipping to the next/previous track when you press the relevant button on your car's cassette deck - nice feature. I am very pleased with mine and definitely recommend it.
