If you tried Sony, try again... I've tried ALL of them, kid you not, and the Sony has the best sound quality of all of them. Most all tapes will "click" a little in the player, and you can prevent that a little by sticking your finger in and slightly moving the tape around as it's playing.. sounds like a lame fix, but it works like a charm. Also, try cleaning your tape deck with a cleaner product, that helps. All n all I love the Sony adapter and so do all the people i recommend it to.

I have had this cable for about a month and use it with the older iPod Classic. When I hit the forward arrow on my steering wheel (or on audio controls), the current song stops and a new one begins. Hope that helps.

I really enjoy the cassette adapter and I do not have any issues with humming in my car. I am not familiar with the bluetooth enabled deck but if you do decide to purchase it please keep me informed on the quality of sound.

I tried since several said yes and it jammed the system in my 2000 Toyota sienna I hope they can get the CD out when I go to replace because it is a library CD:(

The users manual states that this system is compatible with the iPod touch 1st & 2nd gen models. I tried it with my 4 gen model and it does not work. Too bad because the system sounds wonderful. Anybody else have this issue?

You should call the Dension Gateway support. The unit I got was compatible to a point. Bluetooth did not work because of a firmware issue, this is the older unit and is not getting any updates. so before you spend the money call the support folks. they do reply to email as well. adds the ipod to my systems and still allows for steering wheel controls, my car is a mercedes, 2006, R500.

I had mine professionally installed on a 2004 Toyota Sienna. He left the radio console where I was suppose to have the Toyota factory DVD Player and just installed this Pyle right over it. There are NO wires hanging down. I see a couple wires neatly tucked up. The installer felt bad that they showed at all because he felt it reflected bad workmanship, but this DVD player was not for show (show off). It is for function. And still to today it is functioning well and the kids are enjoying it often. The remote does stink though. My five year old still can't get it to work without some screaming and frustration. I have to set up the movies before I start driving. I had mine professionally installed on a 2004 Toyota Sienna.

I am so glad to read this! I bought my son a nano last year, and have returned it three times. It needs returned again, but I'm positive it's out of warranty now. The issue is that it randomly stops playing some songs - his library went from 250+ songs that would play to less than 50. This has happened so frequesntly that we're thoroughly disgusted. The 40G iPod video we have has no such problems!

The steering controls worked for my 08 xB and the 4th gen iPod I use. I got rid of the item due to the noise that it added. I use a new stock cable without the charging capabilities and just bring the iPod in once a week to charge... much better than this pos.

I looked at pictures of an auto reverse cassette player to see what you are talking about. These players put the tape in and the door closes. These adapters are meant for the tape players in cars where you slide the tape in. (no door on the player). A cord hangs out and attaches to the ipod. I do not think that this cord would allow you to close the door on the reverse cassette player.

I installed this unit in a 2007 Toyota Tundra and it works flawlessly. I installed it myself in about 45 mins. It is plug a play, no wires to cut or slice. I found a video on YouTube of my vehicle showing how to remove head unit to plug the gateway. It only took me 45 mins because I never done it before so I took my time. I would've been very upset if I had paid a shop $100 or more for what would've taken them probably 10 mins to install because they do it all the time. I'm not sure if it works with the Avalon but I know it works on many different models by Toyota. And I do get all the Howard Stern channels although I don't listen to them.

doesn't matter what type or brand the car is....this will work. Attach this to the end of your iPod cable....sync to your device through your bluetooth settings....and start streaming. The sound is amazing. One thing though....sometimes it fails to connect after I've turned car off and then returned. I have to go back into bluetooth settings and connect again.. but not all the time. I have three of these....one in three different cars...it works in all of them.

I have a Toyota Sienna and it works, but the reason I'm responding is that if you're buying it for your kids, I'd pay a little more for another pair of headphones. Both that I've purchased have broken in the same spot.

Hi One thing about these I-Pod players is they don't a have long life. Mine only lasted a 1 1/2 Years and It quit on the I-pod dock the radio still worked and I never tried the Aux Cable. I went and spent a little moremoney on the next one. I bought the Sony and it has held up for almost 3 years. But the reviews about the Sony said the same not a very long life. Just waiting on this one to go out. I know this isn't much help, just my problems with the same player you have.

The unit sounds amazing. It does come with several different adapters for the other ipods. I can't say with certainty that yours is one of them. But, Amazon has a good return policy.

Esteban thanks a bunch!!!! I looked everywhere because my ipod was too loud and the radio wasn't working. After I pressed the center and up arrow (menu) button for 12 seconds everything worked!!! I thought I had a bad ipod!! THANKS

Oh, thanks -- is that on the left of the console? I have a little round plastic piece that I have to remove with a screwdriver to get off, but the ipod plug doesn't fit in it - does the adapter go there? I just bought this used, so I don't know if she sent this adapter along with the treadmill. Thanks for your response - do you know if I can get that adapter somewhere still??
