So... I'm sill using the stock cassette deck. I use an adapter to play my cd player. But I have a constant problem of the deck thinking that my adapter cassette is at the end, and tries to reverse the direction/side. But the damn thing just keeps reversing itself and keeps skipping while the audio goes in and out... :mad:

This is my third cassette adapter, all three were different brands. I used some deck cleaner (alcohol kit thing) about 6 months ago, but it still does it.

Should I just consider a new deck, or is there an easy solution?

PS. sorry if this has been discussed before, I did try using search....

you have the radio that say's high power system.
the problem is it need's lubrication. . .
use so wd-40 and get a tape you don't want, then let it play for awhile, then reverse it and so fourth . . . .
WAIT!? . . . . when you go to put the tape in does it go down slowly??

Well, it doesn't exactly dive down into the deck.... maybe 2-3 sec to get inside. So should I do the wd-40 thing?

yep or just get a tape deck, if it does'nt work.
cause it'll get slower and slower and it'll quit working, their's only one mother that control's the pull down, but a soleniod control's the eject.
you can get a pioneer cd player for about 100 and some change . . . . . .

you CAN get a pioneer cd player for $100 and even less. My cd player Kenwood 50Wx4 with detachable face and remote control cost me $65, my friends cd player Pioneer 50Wx4 ith detachable face and remote cost hit $60, my other friends cd player exactly like mine cost him $70......Just don't buy retails, thats all....I would say go for another cd deck, those tape decks suck ass

Yeah, I think I'll have to finally put down the dough. I just put in new speakers: 652i's in the back, and cheapo pioneers in the front and my car has never sounded so sweet. I could get it for less than $100, but I want it mp3 capable, so the cheapest price is $140 shipped for 460mp on ebay. :)

Yea man, if you had read the whole thread you would have seen that I just got a new deck... ;) Which btw isn't in yet because of the stupid stock antenna connection. I'm going to have to solder my own cable onto the metal joint thing to connect it to a new deck.... I've yet to do anything to this car without encountering some kind of unexpected obstacle... <sigh>

Yep, it was quite a fulfilling experience to trow that antique radio into the dumpster. I think I even saved a few pounds - that thing was a bit havier than my new Pioneer. I learned another thing - Honda also makes radios - it says "Honda" and "made in Japan" all over the place; and the damn thing still worked being 17 years old! Them Japs know how to make their stuff :bow:

lol I remember in grade school and even high school I used to religiously make cassete tapes and play them in my car and Walkman. It was pathetic how I used to listen to the radio all day and hit the record button real fast when a song I liked came on. Computers and file sharing seem to take all the fun and hard work out of getting new music.

HAHA I remember 8 tracks, reel to rells, and LP's. I used to just record a bunch of 12" remix's onto a cassette. I think I may still have some 8 tracks somewhere, I just don't have anything to play them on :(

Yeah, I would dig up some of my old radio tapes because there was come cool shit on them. But I dont think I have a cassete player anymore. All I know is, to this day I HATE when radio dj's talk throughout the entire intro of a song and don't shut up til the singing starts. It just ruined the entire song for me when I was recording it.
