I had one of those in my '92 Geo Metro.
spaceasaurusrex
This is how I jammed in my Party Time Cruiser as recently as 2015
khrestyn
I still have one of these for the ipod nano I got in 2006. I love that my car has a tape deck/CD combo in it. Tapes n CDs are so damn cheap!
programmar27
My first MP3 player could play through a car cassette deck. Weird tech crossover but I loved it: https://images.app.goo.gl/3gULTDtBCFRaiEgB7
Starhaven350
I had one of these
TaintToucher
Me - 2021
jezebel2718
I had one of these! I loved my discman.
iamspartan1262
My car still had one up until a year ago and it's an 05 camry
Fizzbolt
legit had one of these i plugged my ipod into up until 2018, i miss having a tape deck in my car
DelGoodGuy
There's a dongle for that!
secretoaster
More like 1991 if you had one thrn
webx9001
Make sure you turn on anti skip on that DiscMan
thatsferalcheryl
I used my portable tape/radio in my manual car with no heating or cooling. Miss it.
frogsupmyarse
Had one of these in my Renault Clio Sport back in that day, that's right ladies it was the sports model
thatsmyfetish69
I have a 2001 Jeep Cherokee and this is in the glovebox
behrditz
1998 wrangler and this is how i listened to my ipod
ameranthe
And then you'd put your discman in the passenger seat like a little baby and roll real slow over speedbumps so it didn't skip.
astrangehop
The one time skip protection was appropriate - Having a DC line in.
knowallknownothing
Now my car doesn’t come with a tape deck or even a CD player...
OrionRed
We just sold the car last year... Bought a Prius.
Mimsbims
This picture shows it the other way around?
Retardis310
-me, 2010, on my cross country road trip in my 01 Tahoe because I was tired of station hopping on the BT to radio transmitter.
PauliiWalnuts
I still use that in my car today...
Dontstopbelever2000ismyfavoritesoap
these are sorcery
TKGactual
I still have one of those in working order; cars still had cassette players up until 2006 at the least.
howamistillpooping
I still use this
Purebinjuice
Me too
MutantTurd
I would use one if my tape deck still worked in my truck.
CarlottaVonSprockett
That’s my problem too, my poor little tape player finally bit the dust.
ShawnS4362
Now you can upgrade - https://www.amazon.com/ION-Audio-Cassette-Adapter-Bluetooth/dp/B00I3YLHAC
AnOrdinaryWerewolf
I didn't know this was a thing! Thank you!!
blahdeeblahnonamesleft
Same. 04 tacoma stock radio. Works fine.
UpvoteGenerator
I still use this on my 2003 camry.
hybridgorilla3131
does your stereo volume turn louder sometimes when ur turning it down?
UpvoteGenerator
Yes. It's the roller button. Somthing is broken inside
fiveplusfiveis50
I had a 96 avalon up until a few years ago. I went through 3 of those tape adapters.
SDsuperchargers
Yup 03 pilot here same
Levistras
The audio quality is balls tho.
AlwaysSiloeTen
This was a lifesaver on deployments during launch truck.
gretchensaurus
Um. I do this still.
commentsivehadafew
I used one of these with my first iPod
OberynNymeros
Yeah and it was 1000% better than those dumb radio adapter
merryjumpingjane12
My laptop on the front seat, this hooked up to the headphones port, winamp on the screen.
Fizzybauer
Camelspotting
Come on son
IamMelonLordeYaYaYa
I still need to use this ?
diggetydug
Had a cd deck with an aux input back in the day. Flossin.
MyCommentsUsuallyHaveTypos
Pretty much everyone I knew did too
daugbret
How else was I going to play 90's hip hop in my 80's mustang in 2005?
PizzaStation
Even after the FM transmitters were a thing, I still preferred this since you didn't constantly have to fuck with it to find a clear channel
psychoticGreenBean
Damn I’m old
theInternetKing
it was a wonderful invention-still have no goddamn idea how it worked
mish7765
Grendus
It turns the music in the aux cord into magnetic pulses. The tape deck reads them like magnetic tape being pulled across the reader.
CarlottaVonSprockett
The music jumps from the phone/CD player into the wire and runs along into the tape cassette. I’m surprised you didn’t know that.

originaljbw
I was gonna post this! It's the best informative series out there
shadow351
It works exactly like a tape recorder, except it is 'recording' to the read head in the player instead of magnetic tape
reynoldser
Shhh. Its magic.
storebrandproductmascot
That's what they said. Exactly like a tape recorder, and those work with magic.
EDDDDDDD
I.e. magnetism.
RobertDinero013
Magnets. Tape is magnetic so this is just an electromagnet getting it on with another electromagnet.
blumpk1npie
I'm with insane clown posse on this one. I think listening to that song made me lose brain cells
RobertDinero013
But you may want ask a scientist
KarenFromTheHOA
Oh, it's definitely magnets, but how do they work?
RobertDinero013
Magic?
dickbutttt
1995? this was popular in 2005
TheCrankyCow
they came out in 1988, after the walkmen became popular.
DeinnsBeans
Yeah in 1995, people just used the cassette tapes.
1block
This was a thing in 1995. Maybe it just stuck around bc cars last a good 15 years or so, so the tech was relevant beyond expectations.
DeinnsBeans
I'm not disagreeing with that. MP3's weren't really common place then. But what would you plug it into, a discman? Just get the cassette.
Hammerhead777
I mean they were literally made for discmans? Also in 1995 CD's were already more popular than cassette tapes.
EDlux
"popular"
Rolsun
I still use mine in my '98 Camry. She will outlive me!!!
bogus1983
I used one in my 2004 WRX that had no Aux port.
bogus1983
...that I owned until 2014.
storebrandproductmascot
They were still putting tape decks in 2004 cars? You couldn't even buy tapes by that point.
bogus1983
bogus1983
It had a 6-CD player and tape, yeah. 2005 was the first model with an Aux port.
storebrandproductmascot
Ah it did both. That makes more sense.
