So, after getting burned with the iTrip (a familiar story to many I'm sure) and looking at the prices of these newfangled tricked out iPod car stereos, I decided to stick with the low-tech alternative and just use a good old cassette adapter on my girlfriend's Chevy Malibu. I went to Radio Shack and bought their cheap solution, 100% convinced it would work perfectly in the car (I had never had a problem with cassette adapters before).
Well... as you can probably guess, after several frustrating minutes of trying to fix the "cassette reverses sides a couple of times and then ejects" problem I gave up. A cursory glance at the forum history tells me that I'm not the only one with this problem. Apparently there are SOME adapters that are more compatible with these auto-reverse decks. My question is, has a concensus been reached as to which is the best, most compatible cassette adapter out there? Anybody have experience with a factory installed tape deck on a chevy malibu that could recommend a brand?
Right now I'm looking at the monster iCarPlay (the upcoming smart cassette from Griffin looks interesting but I have a road trip THIS weekend), has anybody had the "eject of death" problem with it??
Just looking for suggestions.....
