How does the tape/aux sound?

[AndrewBird]

They basically sound as good as an old cassette tape sounds. If yours sounds terrible, try cleaning the tape deck with a cleaning tape. Makes a world of difference.

Instead of doing that, wire in AUX to the tape. Google it, it's very easy, and sounds much better than the tape adapter.

+1 to this...sounds GREAT.

Interesting.

I believe this is what I used. Tried for you because I remember it being a hassle to find it.

This, this this.
Christ, it's so simple to do...and cheap. The first one I did cost me about $7, the second cost me $1.

I tried to wire but didn't work

I use one in my E34 for now. It works and sounds fine at low volume. If you turn it up anything past half way the sound quality...or lack of becomes immediately apparent. It's only temporary till the rest of my stuff for my stereo install comes in.

This thread makes me feel old.

Sounds fine, not as nice as a direct input but better then radio

[R3Z3N]

What's radio?
