Bluetooth Car Hack! - How To Make Any Old Car Bluetooth!! 

Tapes aren't dead and I'll give you 13 reasons why.

You know there's a cassette adapter with bluetooth integrated? It's called iOn, and makes it easier than building that, but still - nice video! :)

Fantastic idea. My car doesn't have Bluetooth, but it does have the auxiliary plug and I hate all the wires. This will perfectly hide in the center console with no wires hanging out. Thanks so much.

What about if you have no tape slot and just a CD one?

Thing I've found with the tape deck adapters is you usually get what you pay for, so keep that in mind. Cheaper ones usually have shoddier audio quality, at least in my experience.

the problem with this method is if you at least half decent speakers in your car you'll notice the low quality bit rate due to the tape

dude your videos are amazing and that static jam was fire!!!

I like the idea to remove the battery, can you describe more about removing the battery? especially the rewiring of the circuit.

that is so awesome ! I'm definitely going to use that for my grandfather's old car it will really enhance the driving experience thanks @jlaser

You can get a AM/FM Bluetooth transmitter for like 10 dollars

This is really smart..good job man!

you can also get a bluetooth fm transmitter it connects to your cigarette ligther and recieves the bluetooth signal from your phone ect.. and transmitts it thru your cars fm radio.. ive seen some go for under $20

Try an FM Transmitter, bluetooth if you don't have an AUX port and no need for usb power, as it runs off the 12 Volt plug in your car.

this is dope because I'm not good at taking apart a bunch of shit in my car and possibly breaking it 😂😂

Them editing skills tho

i bought a usb bluetooth receiver for like 3$, its cheap and fragile, and i might end up changing it to one of these when it fully breaks, but so far, the bluetooth connect works great, it only disconnects when i get a bad bump, because the usb port is about ready to fall off the circuit board..

wanna cleaner wire trick? all you need is aux and some type of solder. you have to take out radio and open it. find spot where is that tape reader. there must be 3 wires. left . right. ground for tape input. cut or just solder your cable on it. now you can run cleaner wires ;)

casey neistat type of feel

Or you could get a Bluetooth FM transmitter for $15 which is a single car charger

Always appreciate ur work

I have something similar to this on my Mercedes but I got it cheaper and it's actually really cool.

should have connected it inside the radio

3:23 what a move... 😁

pretty sweet hack dude !!!

I had to drop a like cuz this is the same setup I have in my '01 Tl.

Good Day, Please how to modify this BT to automatically power on when car start ? , !! Not by pressing button !!

Since you removed the battery, do you have to pair the Bluetooth every time you start the car?

The tape adapter doesn't work with tape decks that have the skip option. You have to hardwire to the motherboard.

What's the name of this song?

Great work bro!!

Not sure if Ive done something wrong. Removed the battery however the unit doesn't fully power up and shuts off fully within 3 or 4 seconds.

never heard about solder and shrinking tubing?

can you Bluetooth an 8-track?

Bluetooth fm transmitter. No wires needed at all.

Is there a similar set up but for a CD player?

"CDs and Tapes are dead. fuck no"

so you have to press the button on the bt module every time you start the car?

Good idea except for one thing you should never ever use one of those cheap USB cigarette lighter Chargers they can ruin the computer in your car.

one thing you could do is leave the cords alone and mount it to the dash that way you don't have to reach down to mess with it

great video!

Do you know of any method similar to this if your car doesn't have a casette deck?

very amazing video!!!!🖒🖒

Won't u just buy a Bluetooth transmitter? There's one for 5$ lol

I purchased a similar Bluetooth device to use it on AUX. it worked well, but it is not charging now, any idea how to fix it?

They sell that phone to cassette at any dollar tree

Can i just rip the battery out the reciever or do i have to use a soldering gun??

My car still has the old OEM vinyl record player installed in the dash.

what if i just plug the aux in my phone which takes 2 sec

or you could just get a cheap fm transmitter, but this way is a lot more fun cx

After I did this to my mpow bluetooth receiver I only have music playing out of 1 of my car speakers very quietly and a hum noise. Any idea why?

i looooove radio

Will it work properly if i didn't remove the battery?

how about step it up and solder the aux into the audio unit circuit board tape line in. Then stick the bluetooth device inside the the audio unit powered with a 5 v reg attached to the units 12 v power supply.

dollor tree has tape decks for 1$

Thanks!

all you needed was the cassette adapter to play your music of your phone why even bother with the blue tooth

Nice video :)

my car has no tape player :(

So instead of building this, I would just plug my phone into the tape player aux. Why would I want to use Bluetooth and make my phone die quicker? And don't say cuz of the Iphone 7 not having a headphone jack, because it's cheaper to get the adapter then to buy both of those... but thats just my opinion..

What's the name of the intro song ?

Could it be possible to just keep the Bluetooth receiver plugged in so it overcharges leaving it to rely on being plugged in at all times, don't really want to risk fucking it up

How old are we talking about here? I have a 1998 Honda accord. It does have a CD player but the laser is broken but it doesn't have a power charging thing. It has nothing.

Is that a 2002 jetta?

i have headset bluetooth and i need conecting on my aux cable but i dont want bay any think

A Bluetooth FM Transmitter for about $10/15 dollars is a much cheaper and simpler option and the quality of sound isn't shit like some would have you believe. Just find the best frequency and it'll be fine. Fuck spending $70+ and messing around cutting cables, removing batteries, gluing etc. What a waste of time and money!

Good job mate as I'm searching through RU-vid looking for videos in learning it's not the best one I've seen the best one I've seen so far as I search was one that was hardwired into the factory radio it was into a caset dick but I have Australian car that is a bit of a classic and it has a 6 thakur CD thank you for your video as I shall keep looking for one that plugs into CDs and I will be hard wiring it into the car but it will not be seen it looked like a factory unit thanks for sharing

How did you learn to do stuff like that

Notification Squad where are ya?

How do you correctly remove the battery

If you have aux port, just buy Bluetooth transmitter..

Aren't you over complicating it a bit? Wouldn't it be simpler to just insert the cassette adapter and just plug the jack into your phone and forget about Bluetooth? Just an idea.

the process is very simple but having all that stuff around seems like a bit of a hassle, why not just play it through your phone?

What if you don't have a cassette player in the car?

thanks

If the phone is right next to the Bluetooth adapter you might aswell just plug it in

can you make easy air tank

now if only the tape deck stops spitting the tape adapter out. . anyone know how to fix that annoying problem?

Only reason someone might do this route is because their phone doesn't have an Aux. iPhone 7 (cough, cough)

nice life hack

why couldn't life be like this!!!

why didn't you buy the Bluetooth that tunes into your radio .Walmart sells them for 20 bucks and hooks up in 10 seconds how long it take for you to do that probably an hour lol

Smart guy

I have a Mercedes Benz 300sl from 1986 does anyone know how can i do it?

amazing

man ty big boii

Mine just sits there blinking red and won’t show up on Bluetooth

this is similar to what I did but without tape

I have been fooling around burning CDs for 4 years and wasted an enormous amount of time. Luckily my antique stereo also has a cassette player. Thanks for the wake up call. I am considerably smarter than you though. I paid $2.49 for my adapter, including delivery!

watys the song mate

best and cheapest way... no most creative... yes

the outlet in my vw doesn't turn off with the key... and also my cassette adapter sounds like shit lol

car stereos with blue tooth are like 60 bucks ....good idea but geez too much work in comparison

Yo thanks a lot dude I did this and now my Bluetooth won't work. The light will turn on but the Bluetooth won't work. It worked perfectly fine until I took out the battery. Thanks for the advice advice jerk. I'm boutta sue you for $11.99 plus tax buddy be ready

Can I have the Bluetooth receiver

Why would you destroy the battery charge capability? what about when your phone battery starts dying? seems like a hassle. that's just me good vídeo though.

at this point why not just plug the jack from the tape into the phone ??.... instead of having all those cables hanging everywhere and welding and all

Or just buy Xiaomi Roidmi for ~ $12 and plug it in 12v socket

I bought I cheap adapter at Hastings for 12 bucks

just buy bluetooth audio transmitter hehehehehe ✌️✌️

do you live in Germany? because you have a volkswagen
