I bought this because it was the cheapest tape deck adapter on Amazon. It performs like it. The cord is thin and feels like I may break it easily. The sound quality is subpar. My cheapo Wal Mart brand adapter sounded great, it was as good through the car speakers as a CD. With this unit, I get static, hissing, pops, and scratchy audio. Also, somehow, the levels are off. I've had to tweak all the settings on my stereo to make my music even passable. I will be replacing this one at my earliest opportunity, and recommend you spend a couple bucks more.
