arsvita Cassette to Aux Adapter

Overview

This adapter lets a car's built-in cassette player accept audio from any device with a 3.5mm headphone jack. It loads into the tape slot like a standard cassette, with a 3.3 foot cord running to the aux plug.

Older cars with a cassette deck but no aux input can't easily add a line-in without replacing the head unit. This adapter sidesteps that by loading into the tape slot like an ordinary cassette and carrying audio over a wired 3.5mm connection instead. It's an old format, but still one of the cheapest ways to get sound from a phone into a stock cassette-only stereo.

• Loads into a standard cassette deck
• 3.3 foot 3.5mm aux cord
• 24k gold-plated connectors, silver wire core
• Rated for 15,000+ bends and 10,000 plug cycles

Who it's for

Fits anyone with a working cassette deck in the car, RV, or older boombox who wants to play audio from a phone, tablet, or MP3 player through it. Does nothing for a car without a cassette player, and won't help a stereo that already has an aux or Bluetooth input.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The adapter loads into the cassette slot like a normal tape, with a cord running from it to a 3.5mm plug for the phone or player. Gold-plated connectors and shielded cable are meant to cut down on the hiss and signal loss that cheaper cassette adapters are prone to.
