New Hotness:
omfg if it does pass thru power i’ll lose my mind. my car has a “modern” cassette player with a hole in the door for one of those 3.5mm to cassette converters, i could make this WORK
I have one of these, not sure if its the exact model but i can confirm. Comes with a battery.
Can also confirm (to my annoyance) that you cannot have it charging and play music at the same time. So don’t bother buying a slim angled micro usb cable like I did…
It’d drain the batteries quickly. Wifi uses a relatively large amount of power, and low-power wifi variants like HaLow aren’t widespread yet. Bluetooth has a low energy mode for low-power devices that works well for this use case. I guess it could have a power cord, but then why use wifi when it could just plug into the phone instead?
You can’t be in audiophile mode in a car. You don’t even get proper stereo separation.
Yeah, people obsessed with car stereos are usually of the “I want everyone to know I’m playing music” variety.
And occasionally of the “I want it to be dangerous to listen to music coming from my sound system” variety.
Which I do kinda get, since I, too, thrive on wtf faces, though I generally don’t want to be a nuisance or damage my property in the process. Like it’s usually a wtf face from an unexpected combination that turns out to be better than one would expect, like saying I like chocolate sauce on sausages (which works because chocolate doesn’t have to be combined with tons of sugar).
You should try the Bowers and Wilkins system in the BMW iX some time. In the USA it’s a $3,400 upgrade compared to their mid-range Harmon Kardon system (which itself is an upgrade from the base system), but it sounds amazing. 30 speakers including one in every head rest, two subwoofers under the floor, and 4 bass shakers in the front seats. 1615 watts total. Sounds better than some home cinema setups I’ve heard.
1995? … I keep this adapter for my old 2004 GM Truck … and no I don’t want bluetooth. The atrocious sound quality is nostalgic to me and reminds me of being a teenager.
Yup! I have a drawer of these things because my brother & I used to fight over them. Still use one in my dad’s truck when I steal it from him.
Leave those air pods in your pockets kids. Nothing brings the heat like the annoying clacking of the auto reverse on a cassette deck, constantly trying to flip over a cassette that doesn’t flip, while matching the rhythm of your current jam.
noo… you’re not moving the wire right. You have to move it back left when it does that & then hit the ff button twice.

I heard the sound quality was really good because it was a direct feed to the reader.
Na, forget CDs and check out my sweet minidisc player! Waaazaaaaaaaa!!??!
Peasant.
My CD player had an FM transmitter that I tuned the car radio to.
Joke’s on you - that’s literally what I use in my 03 Jetta 😂
