If you wanna keep your e30 retro...

[TDE30]

Volume through your volume knob....

Damn, I've been doing it wrong all along. :D

[Aptyp]

so AFTER i spent $200 on Alpine head Unit, I see this. Could of had OE cassette player for $20

[Miasma]

Meh, Ill keep my carputer.

Still tech as hell though!

[Nic01101011]

Would it work for our cars? I tried the taape adapter attached to an mp3 player and the deck wouldn't read, had no sound and the deck sounded like it kept switching back and forth from the a to b side. Worked in my mom's mercedes and my e34 though.

I've hooked up my iPod to a tape adaptor and it worked fine:crazy:

[e30 Luv]

someone buy one and write a review. that is rad.

that is rad. but it seems suspiciously cheap. plus for some reason the fact that the site is called chinavasion.com scares me.

That's kind of neat. I'm one of those "period correct" guys, so all I have is cassettes in the car. I keep one of those cd player/ipod adapters in the glove box though, just in case a passenger happens to have something that modern.

[eric (^__^)]

Do want

[submwar]

Or you could use this with any iPod

I've used one of those corded tape things, it's a RCA piece (of crap.) When used, I hear this constant tick tick tick noise. It's miles behind those FM transmitter things.

[e30esque]

I'm buying this, review to follow shortly.

I've actually experienced the OPPOSITE with my wired tape cassette adapter. The ones that go through the radio frequency are more often than not fuzzy and take more time to set up and arent as reliable (battery powered) as the cassette style.


oh and this thread is sooo subscribed. Im anxiously awaiting a review!!!

There are a bunch of them an eBay:

I've still got my OE radio, been considering taking out the DIN tray I have in there now and putting the radio back in.
Kinda defeats the OE look though, seeing as I have a touchscreen mounted underneath it. :p

[Mossman]

if I hadn't seen this at 4am i might have waited til one of you guys got yours. Unfortunately that was impossible so I bought one. My 6'er got its alpine stolen and I've got the stock deck in, and when I finish with turbo e30 I might just run a stock tape deck to make interior less appetizing to thieves who might snag my gauges too. I'll let y'all know how it works when it gets here

[sticksdaman]

any news on this?
