Cassette Deck Bluetooth Adapter: ION Audio Cassette Adapter with Bluetooth Music Receiver Review

I was shocked to learn that you don't have to install Bluetooth in a thousand dollar car to play music from your phone. My car is an older model, it has a CD and a cassette, unfortunately no AUX cable. So I basically got stuck with the radio. Then I stumbled across this product and it was ONLY $20 to have something like Bluetooth in an old car! It plays very well in my car, but there is some hissing between songs when the volume is higher. It comes with a microphone which I thought was pretty…

This adapter works great in my '99 Lexus ES 300. I'm planning on plugging it directly into my car so I can just leave it in my cassette player. Those afraid of soldering can use conductive glue, which is glue so you can basically glue the wiring instead of soldering. The sound quality is good, I think it's a bit better than my Cassette to Aux. I noticed that it boosted my mids and highs quite a bit. Luckily, it's easy to set up on my stereo. Pairing is quick and easy, and you'll hear a tone…

I have an old car model that has neither Bluetooth nor a line adapter. I used a wired cassette adapter to listen to music on my phone. It's much better. Previously, the sound quality on the wired adapter was static and the volume was low, I turned on the phone at full power and the car radio at almost maximum volume. Also, I kept cutting the wire off them. With this Bluetooth adapter, the sound is almost crystal clear and the volume in my car is similar to listening to the radio. You need to…

I recently threw away my last wired cassette adapter after I lost the connection around the plug. I searched the internet for a new solution and was amazed to find the bluetooth function. This device from Ion seemed like the best choice to me (I have a fairly positive opinion of the Ion brand and a negative opinion of Radio Shack, one of the alternatives), but based on the reviews here I wasn't expecting much, but after the music started playing, i was close to tears of joy, the sound is…

Cassette radio sounds like a modern radio. If you buy one of these with such an expectation, you will be disappointed. Cassette players have a narrower audio bandwidth than newer formats. I am very happy with the functionality of the product, it was easy to connect to my phone. Once paired, as mentioned in another review, leave the cassette in the off position so that it turns off when you turn off the radio, otherwise the battery will die. So far I've only ridden about 45 minutes at a time and

I've read various reviews and experimented with the Ion because it doesn't come with very helpful instructions. Here are the steps that, when followed in the order presented, will result in GREAT sound. I was using an iPhone 6, so below I'll use the term "phone" as my music source. You may want to fully charge it first (at least two hours), but the device was partially charged at the time of delivery.1. Carefully peel the invisible plastic sheet off the metal head of the ion cartridge. You can…

I installed a bluetooth cassette adapter on my 2003 Lexus LS430. Before inserting the cassette into the deck, I carefully peeled off the clear plastic protective sheet with a utility knife, as I learned from some reviewers who reported problems with the sound quality. The sound quality of this Bluetooth adapter is very impressive - it's much better than the Bluetooth radio adapter I previously owned as well as the wired cassette adapter [only the left speakers work]. The downside is that you…
