AUX input?

>>14979124
Buying a new head unit is your best bet. If you want to keep the shitty stock one because muh aesthetics, install the new one in the glovebox.

It may have a CD changer control port on it you can mod those into aux jacks but the problem with the tape adapter is probably actually your phone. They all have their levels set for headphones. Download a free equalizer app before you waste your time and money trying to build or replace anything.

Get this.

>Unfortunately, pic related works like shit and causes the sounds of children being raped by demons to play from my speakers.
"Children raped by demons" sounds like clipping. (I A/B test demonic youth sodomy and clipping, and no one can tell them apart with better than 50% accuracy.) Turn your input volume down WAY low (on your phone/MP3 player/whatever), and then crank the radio volume up to compensate.

Otherwise, your cassette adapter is fucked, or maybe your tape deck. The couple of FM adapters I've tried (admittedly years ago) were terrible, and either didn't work at all, or could juuuuust barely broadcast a signal the car radio could alllllmost pick up, chewing through batteries all the while.

Assuming it's not just your input volume being too loud, I'd try another cassette adapter before I'd try an FM adapter, or a new head unit, or soldering.

Mine sounds fine. Its like a 5 buck on from meijer. Its kinda noisy thought but the music drowns it out.

No you need to charge it

>>14979124

Get some crimp style connectors. Pull the radio out, look for some diagrams, splice an aux port to the appropriate wires, stuff somewhere in the car, job done.

for fucks sake, in this day and age, where so much knowledge is available at your fingertips and you come and ask shit questions...

Monster aux Cassette is the only one worth buying.

remove the anti jam gears and enjoy.

>plug into cigarette lighter
>change radio station to something static
>transmitter will play through said radio station

it only gets weird when you drive long distances and start picking up new radio signals but otherwise works flawlessly

nigger I already looked for schematics to do just that and couldn't find shit. To make things worse, there are fuckin 5 output wires coming from the cassette player head, who knows what the fuck corresponds to what.

OP confirmed for a dumb ass nigger

Looks like you didn't send 5 minutes reading amazon reviews. I got my besdata cassette adapter for around $8 shipped, and it's been absolutely bulletproof. It survived the auto reverse player, being stepped on, tugged on, dragged outside of the car for 5 km because some dumb broad kicked it out of the floor well on her way out. Seriously. Get one of these. Or, you know, tapes from the thrift store. They cost like 99 cents.

>available in black and red or red and white
>red and white seems retro as fuck

Well you need to charge it less than the phone you use to play music with it, so I don't see what the issue is.

Buy B&W T7 Bluetooth speaker
very nice sound

>>14981920

I looked that thing up because I'm searching for a cheap way to add anything more than 70's radio to my car for a cheap price and I'd love to get something like that, 15W for each channel seems real low though

How many watts would I need for two speakers on each side?

Hey anon, do I just wire a 12v from the fuse box, attach a 2amp fuse with a fuse splitter and thats it?

>>14982745
how does it sound?

>>14984269
Power. Ground. Speaker out x2
That's it

>>14981725
Test your way until you find the correct ones.

>>14981725
Never mind the cass player side of it. The top end of the volume pot is where you want to go into. >>>/diy/

FM transmitters are absolute shit sound-quality wise. Short of a new head unit, those cassette adapters are the best option - Philips used to make them and those are the best ones, I have one from over six years ago and it still works flawlessly. The off-brand ones are garbage and usually don't work in an auto-change tape player. A new head unit is the best option, and as another anon said, hide it in the glovebox if you like the look of the stock stereo.
I own a Saab and the idiots who installed my head unit bypassed the built in amp because it had "european wiring" so now my rear 6x9s are powered by the headunit only and sound like shit - make sure they install it correctly if you do get a new head unit because I am not happy.

I live in Toronto, and it gets funny driving under streetcar wires. This gives me a reason to turn the tunes down, roll down the window, and smile and wave and the plebs.

I have a question somewhat relevant to the thread:
Goddamned Steve Miller cd is stuck in my stereo. How do I get it out? Sick of this cd man. We get it, they call you the space cowboy

>>14988130

>/o/ I want aux input
>tape deck converters suck!
>FM radio things suck as bad as tape deck
>I don't want to put a head unit in!
>I'm not willing to solder things!

Ok so basically just fuck yourself

Pretty damn good imo. I also have only two working speakers, and only one fully unblown one. So I may be biased. But it sounds like a real tape. Noise at volume 1-5 because lol cassette motors, and varying acceptable volumes where it does not sound like demonic child sodomy. My escort has equalizer knobs on the console so I can make any song sound gudenuf.

I bought a 40 dollar head unit with no CD player and put it in my old ass Subaru... the stock HU worked but sounded terrible (it even had an aux input... from 1990)

The HU I got has aux input, USB and flash card reader, and radio. That's it. It's worked absolutely fine since I got it. It doesn't look like a newage space ship gizmo either. It was a "Bravo" something or other. I think there's a newer version with bluetooth too. Otherwise you could get a similar product from a shit-tier company like Dual.

Do you really care about keeping your Toyota shitbox original or are you just a cheap ass?
