Stock Cassette Deck : Issue

[CabrioPunk]

Once a cassette is placed in - whether Paul Simon or Jimmy Buffet or Christopher Cross - it sounds like it keeps flipping the tape, unable to decide.

Having been out of the cassette scene for a while. Just the deck needing cleaned or a reason to replace the deck?


And it is staying. I want stock. So no upgrades. Need the tape deck.

Anyone?

The drive belt is broken.

You'd hear a clicking noise? I think I remember it switching from 1 to 2.

[StereoInstaller1]

that is it, exactly. Since the tape is not moving, the sensor in the reel thinks the tape is at the end of a side, so it reverses direction...except it can't, since the drive belt is broken.

I have a working premium sound tape player that works if your interested.

[CabrioPunk]

Ya, I need my cassette tape deck to work.

Thanks for the responses.

How much ya looking for your tape deck? The premium one will drive the OEM CD changer? Have the code?

[QUiKSR20]

I think it will do the CD Changer, its the OEM Premium deck from my 89 325is with Touch Controls for the bass / balance / fader etc.

I can send pics if you like of the front and back.

I just removed it cause my amp was dying, The radio worked perfect from what I could gather just a bad amp.
I have the code as well, Id do $40 shipped if that works for you. If for any reason it doesnt work for you I would
honer it being returned for full refund.

[QUiKSR20]

Let me know if you still want this I can ship asap as well as take pics.

Thought I'd just bump this thread instead of making a new one.

Is it worth it to repair a broken drive belt? Or should I just buy another oem radio?

[QUiKSR20]

I have one if your looking to replace with stock for cheap.. I wouldnt fix an old one, Id either replace or take the chance to upgrade..

[NeedaBimmer]

Could you post a pic of the one you have? I may be interested.

[QUiKSR20]

Could you post a pic of the one you have? I may be interested.

I dont have the greatest pic since I am at work but I can send a better one later. Heres the one I can show you now.

The little wire / string you see on the left is from an air freshener.
