Gets the Job Done
Husband purchased a Toyota MR2 Spyder from a dealer in Arizona. I'm used to having bluetooth in my Camry, and my husband uses an aux in his Sequoia, so in this respect we were a little "ugh" with the obvious fact that this car would have neither (first world problems) -- and given we were going to be flying out to Arizona to pick it up, driving it up through Las Vegas for a cousin's wedding, then driving it the 1,500 miles back home, we needed more than just CDs to survive. Opted to get this cassette to aux adapter to tide us over, it worked well, but given that we are both accustom to higher quality equivalents (bluetooth, and aux, to an extent) we weren't wowed by the sound quality by any means -- not to mention the car's speakers were old enough to vote, so it's tough to assign any blame. I'm giving it 5 stars as it did work perfectly, the only con in our situation was the length of the adapter is rather short, and our pull out cup holder was RIGHT beneath the stereo, so if we wanted to keep our drinks in the holder versus rolling around on the floor board, we weren't able to use the adapter. Not the adapters fault in any way! We still have the adapter and plan to use it on our next vacay with the Spyder. Other than that, I'm fine packing some earbuds as a backup. Ignore the askew hood.

It’s alright
This would break every few months, I went through a lot of these. I think it would overheat with how much I would listen to music. Not very clear sound too but I think it’s just outdated

Convenient gadget
This is wonderful for those of us that still have cassette players in our cars. It works great when it works however this is my 3rd one in a year and a half. As my dad always said, they make them to sell not to last. I like it and will buy another one if i need to because I like to listen to the music on my phone but I wish it would last a little longer.
