RE: .-1
It's worked in different models of cars, but has it worked in
the same model tape-deck?

| Some tape decks have a sensor to detect if tape is passing the heads. If
the adaptor doesn't fool this, the deck will think you have a broken tape
and spit it out.

| .2 is probably right - those adaptors don't work with Pioneer
decks, and perhaps not the one that BMW installs. You're probably
out of luck.
I have heard of adaptors that transmit on the FM band, but I think
they are mono (and lower fidelity, too).

| 780.4 | Is it Alpine? | VINO::GSCOTT | Greg Scott | Fri Jun 26 1987 14:13 | 4 |
| I don't know if this helps but the BMW units are made by Alpine.
Does anyone out there use a cassette adaptor with an Alpine player?

| Yes, I use a Recoton adapter with an Alpine car cassette
deck. It works just fine. I don't remember the model number
of the Alpine offhand, but it's a couple of years old...
