I was so close to buying an Android radio to replace the functioning unit in the 2002 Lexus my daughter just gave me. Looked up this video and am so glad I found it. Thanks.
I let a "YOOOOHOHO" out after hearing that second of Head Over Heels since I'm looking info about this adapter for my 2001 ZX2, and that song was the first one I heard on it's radio the day I brought it home... God, I love that car.
Awesome dude. I just ordered this cassette adapter for my "new" to me 2008 Lexus Rx400h which comes with a Mark Levinson audio system with cd/dvd and cassette player. For some reason it has bluetooth for phone calls only but no streaming feature which makes this cassette adapter a great gadget 🙂
I have to use one of those fm transmitters on My 2007 Audi a4 I wish it had a cassette deck tbh lol. It has Bluetooth for calls, a built in phone charger/holder in the arm rest (only fora blackberry lol) a six disc changer cd player, and an ancient gps that hasn’t been updated since 2010
If I was still driving my 1993 Ford Taurus from high school, you can bet that thing would come in handy for me. Besides Pandora, I have several other Internet radio and music streaming apps on my phone that I would imagine would also work with a cassette adapter.
Cool. You could probably make your own from bluetooth headphones and one of those cheap wired cd-tape converters. If you have these things sitting there and you're bored. For the commute, the store bought unit would probably be less frustrating.
Did that few times, im trying to find some bt headphones that have really small PCB So i can glue it inside of the cassette :D And add thin wires with USB So it can be charged while playing music. I dont really like that microusb solution..
Great review. I just ordered one for my Honda Odyssey. I don’t want to put much money into it and this seems like a good alternative to replacing head unit.
Anyone know why my cassette adaptor shuts off on it just started doing it and now it won’t connect again it was perfectly fine before. It doesn’t have the eject problem, and I have the same one as in this video except my has a tail that you press to connect
Does it turn off automatically after not in use or you have to eject it to turn off every time you park your car. Otherwise will remain on and drain the battery overnight and will need to be recharged next day before use
Just ordered one for my 2000 jaguar xkr. Yes it has a 10 cd multi changer in the boot or trunk for you Americans lol but who buys cds anymore. Soon il be able to listen yo my Spotify 😊 thanks for the simple demo n loved how us men just brush away instructions 😂
Evidently won't work with an auto reverse tape player. It just tries to play both sides and kicks it back out. Dammit, I wanted to really try this thing. Mines a GM as well.
I have 2 vehicles. One got the whole stereo and backup camera upgrade. The other I have one of these cassette things. Yes, the upgrade was 1k like this guy says. But I'm totally happy with it. My other car has the cassette and you do have to constantly have to be charging it. And it's annoying when it dies because you feel like something precious has been taken from you lol
It does not. Pressing the buttons on ur car stereo will only result in „skipping“ for a bit meaning ur music stops for like 5 seconds then continues playing the same song u were listening to so no song change has to be done on the phone
Is the cassette’s gears loud when putting it in? I heard other brands make a annoying noise when the gears inside the cassette move when not playing music.
You an get those wireless transmitters that plug into your cigarette lighter and broadcast to a certain radio frequency on your radio without a cd/audio input/bluetooth/usb port etc and play from your device. It doesn't sound so good though.
I specifically wanted a cassette adapter. Super pleased with it. Every day to work and back. Everyone has there own opinion of course. Im happy with my decision.
I think it depends on the amp coming from the cassette player. I need to crank the volume pretty high to get it loud. But radio needs to be half as much. I think its a function of the cassette player and not the bluetooth piece. Id have to test it with a normal cassette to prove it tho. For the 20$ im very pleased and content
@@thousanddollarcarguy I might give it a shot. Back in the day they had "head cleaners" for the cassette player. I'm no expert but maybe a q-tip soaked in rubbing alcohol could clean it. (ask an expert on this one) So when it works does a ribbon of tape/metal continually glide across the cassette player head or is it fixed?
Eh idk what aftermarket Radio you looking at but Ik there a radio at walmart or Amazon for 40$ single den then about 10-15$ for a dash kit then your done now I’ll understand not knowing how to put the radio in for a double den and I can see why it is 100-500$ for one then 10-15$ for dash kit then pay someone to do it but also hered something about the double den where I don’t want to buy
@ricky302v8 in another comment he said he's been using it for about 6 months without charging it so I think the cogs charge the battery like one of those hand crank flashlights.
These companies must make a ton of money now with all those people with older cars and new phones without headphone jack. I use to use a cassette to 3.5mm headphone jack then I got a brand new Samsung s22 ultra with no jack. They sell aux to USB C cable but the connection gets finicky and will lose connection often.
It's just the convenience of not having to plug anything in and having it automatically connect when you turn the car on. Otherwise the aux cable works fine.
@@juandontworryaboutit4150 i still never tried the cd. But the adapter is missing some base. Like it doesnt have the umph that the stock headunit has. Still great for the price tho
@@thousanddollarcarguy excellent, I bought a Logitech mouse that advertised 10 hours of use on the battery life and the goddamn thing lasts 6-8 months of 4-6 hours daily on a single AA battery lol
@@omarzowila I just wanna make sure before I buy me one😭the Cassettes are good but I see more ppl getting the Bluetooth radio. If u can connect it to your phone that’s a huge investment
@@omarzowila they only work good for short car rides in my opinion , I'm a trucker, in my experience with FM transmitters, the longer the drive, you will have to change the station wayyy more frequently to not always hear static , and I had enough of that, FM transmitters are shit and that's why , this or a plain and simple aux cord is the way to go

" Well that sounds like music" . this is my kind of technical review. Short and sweet. Thumbs up.
My Lexus rx 330 2004 has no Bluetooth. This old school tech will keep the party going! 🎉. Thank the maker for adding a tape deck.
HE PLAYED BTS WTF 🤣 great review tho
lmaoooo the most random shi i’ve seen all day 😂😂😂😂
Didn't expect to hear that as the first song played 😅
And that, my friends, is how you do a Review. Short sweet to the point.
That brief second of head over heels. 👍

thats funny my first car at 16 years old was a 2003 zx2 5 speed manual in 2011 and boy did i beat the hell out of that poor little car.

you gave me the best idea ever my guy 😭 thank you

What about making phone calls?
Your video clinched it...Thank you. I just ordered it!
I like you because "we're not gonna bother with any of this right now"😂
I wanted to get one for my 2000 honda!! Thanks for this review, sure am buying one 😁
Great review. I just ordered one for my Honda Odyssey. I don’t want to put much money into it and this seems like a good alternative to replacing head unit.
My mother surprised me with this today for my new car i just got recently an old 2002 Kia Spectra... it is my first car and I love my car lol
I just bought a 2000 toyota corolla and well I need some Bluetooth to listen to music… guess I’m getting this 😏
and i got my first car, 1990 buick park avenue ultra
@@CrafterSven niceeeeee I love 90-early 2000's cars they are so nostalgic!!!
Thanks, I thought I would have to charge this when not in use. Sucks phones nowadays decided to get rid of the trusty headphone jack.
Worked great the first day. Second day sound cutting in and out. How do tell if cassette needs charged?
Not sure if it's that or my phone
Anyone know why my cassette adaptor shuts off on it just started doing it and now it won’t connect again it was perfectly fine before. It doesn’t have the eject problem, and I have the same one as in this video except my has a tail that you press to connect
I just bought one of them today, instructions are horrible. U saved me from returning it. Thx bro!
Do I need to have my radio on a certain radio station for this thing to work?
Bought one of these from Walmart and it works great in my 79 ford lol
Does it turn off automatically after not in use or you have to eject it to turn off every time you park your car.
Otherwise will remain on and drain the battery overnight and will need to be recharged next day before use
Just ordered one for my 2000 jaguar xkr. Yes it has a 10 cd multi changer in the boot or trunk for you Americans lol but who buys cds anymore. Soon il be able to listen yo my Spotify 😊 thanks for the simple demo n loved how us men just brush away instructions 😂
What about that fordson major thats a beauty
Does your microphone works? while u speak via phone.
How to change it?
🙏 thank you so much
Can you charge while plugged in
Evidently won't work with an auto reverse tape player. It just tries to play both sides and kicks it back out. Dammit, I wanted to really try this thing. Mines a GM as well.
Sorry it didnt work out. Take advantage of amazons return policy
Pull the tape apart and remove the gears. The deck is sensing too much resistance and thinks it the end of the tape.
Do you have to keep this charged constantly? How long does the battery last when not plugged in?
I think it lasts over 12 hrs when fully charged
I have 2 vehicles. One got the whole stereo and backup camera upgrade. The other I have one of these cassette things. Yes, the upgrade was 1k like this guy says. But I'm totally happy with it. My other car has the cassette and you do have to constantly have to be charging it. And it's annoying when it dies because you feel like something precious has been taken from you lol
What 😱 never knew there was a Bluetooth cassette 👍🏽👍🏽
Whoa yess thank you for that!
You are my hero
Probably a dumb question, but will it would to change the son using the seek buttons on the stereo or do you have to use your phone?
I only changed the songs from my phone. I never tried the in truck buttons
It does not. Pressing the buttons on ur car stereo will only result in „skipping“ for a bit meaning ur music stops for like 5 seconds then continues playing the same song u were listening to so no song change has to be done on the phone

@@cskye6529 no clue on cleaning. Im so lazy i wouldnt even bother. 20$ is cheap for my solution. I dont know if its cheap enough for you
This is a thing? They make these?
Why there are two cd players?
Nice , this is Devine
Hows the bass?
Mine keeps making a clicking sound, any suggestions?
How does it sound? I have one of those but wired
So far it sounds great. No complaints

you're the man
so i got this right but my cassette got stuck and then it says error if anyone can reply or have any resolve on how to fix this problem
how to charge?
I just bought this and the instructions SUCK so thank you!
little late to the video… however do you have to charge the little bluetooth cassette player?
It has a usb charger plug on the side of it. But i never once charged it. I believe it stays charged because of the cassette wheels turning.
@@thousanddollarcarguy No, the cogs do not charge the battery.
@ricky302v8 in another comment he said he's been using it for about 6 months without charging it so I think the cogs charge the battery like one of those hand crank flashlights.
What's that song that came on the radio when he took the tape out?
ruclips.net/video/CsHiG-43Fzg/видео.html
Can you skip songs with the buttons on the wheel with it?
I don't believe so. They would have to be Bluetooth controlled through your phone.
This better than fm transmitter...always static sound

I use to use a cassette to 3.5mm headphone jack then I got a brand new Samsung s22 ultra with no jack. They sell aux to USB C cable but the connection gets finicky and will lose connection often.
How come yours is quite I hear a loud noise when I play mine
Make sure that your phones bluetooth is maxed out before you turn your car volume up.
the little second of "head over heels" that played after he took it out
mine just keeps making a loud buzzing no matter what I do
Is it way better than the one with an aux cord ?
It's just the convenience of not having to plug anything in and having it automatically connect when you turn the car on. Otherwise the aux cable works fine.
How does the sound quality compare with CD?
Thats something i havent tried yet. But when i do i will come back to this comment and update it.
@@thousanddollarcarguy how did it go?
@@juandontworryaboutit4150 i still never tried the cd. But the adapter is missing some base. Like it doesnt have the umph that the stock headunit has. Still great for the price tho
Hey does it charge while you're using it???
Yes from what i experienced
@@thousanddollarcarguy I don't think it charges automatically while using does it?
Does it work with phone calls?
I havent tried as of yet. When i do i will update this comment
I have one called "car cassette" it does work for phone calls.
Keep the old cars aesthetics.
I have the Arsvita too, but it make so much noise, any idea to fix it?
I think I ended up balancing the volume on my phone and the volume on the stereo so it wasn't 1 of them doing all the work.
@@thousanddollarcarguy I'm talking about the cassette. The mecanism make too much noise
@@TwoCho oh. That's different. I didn't experience that. May want to exchange it for another
Do you have to charge that thing?
I never did. I believe it self charges while its in use.
@@thousanddollarcarguy nice, how’s it been working for you?
Awesome. Only complaint is a loss of base thru it. But it doesn't bother me enough to change it
@@thousanddollarcarguy yea not much of a problem there, how’s the phone call quality?
@@SavHabitz im not sure i ever made a call honestly
So you don’t ever need to charge the cassette to be able to use the Bluetooth???
I never charged it once in weeks of use
@@thousanddollarcarguy how many hours and how many days a week you use the cassette for?
@@a.e.p.9818 at least a month. 5 days a week. 30 mins to work and 40 mins back home.
@@thousanddollarcarguy not bad thanks
@@thousanddollarcarguy excellent, I bought a Logitech mouse that advertised 10 hours of use on the battery life and the goddamn thing lasts 6-8 months of 4-6 hours daily on a single AA battery lol
best
Battery life??
It never once ran out while i was using it. I think it recharges itself while it plays.
There are actually Bluetooth Radio Station car charger transmitters
Does it work great?
@@Darealmenxce they work pretty good
@@omarzowila I just wanna make sure before I buy me one😭the Cassettes are good but I see more ppl getting the Bluetooth radio. If u can connect it to your phone that’s a huge investment

My cigarette burner broke so this is my next option lol
Who had cassette in their car in 2006 ? :P
Why does mine sound static
You may have to turn your bluetooth on your phone up higher and then turn tbe volume of your radio up.
Hi Thousanddollarcarguy I'm Fourhundredfiddydollarcarguy. Not officially but yea
In this current market it would be hard to do but id watch if you made an episode.
Why does every reviewer mispronounce the manufacturers name?
You look and sound like Mr Beast
Thanks? I don't see it myself
Tears for fears
Mine is now not connecting keeps staying on red and won’t connect any solution really tired of this shit
But only reason why I look this up because I been driving my dad car so I can do nothing to his car because it is his car
He switched the song cause Bts is ass.😂😂😂
Why do you insist on calling it ARVISTA? It's ARSVITA. Bit of a kick in the head to your review really.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was saying the same as I remember there was a Aux Cord Cassette player
