Good video. Now I need to know how to gut it, and trick it into thinking it is playing so I can use it's audio out for auxiliary audio source. :D This will help take it apart some more and mess around though.
Wow I'm impressed you really know how to work on those things I just installed one in my S10 call me crazy but it was considered an upgrade option for my old truck LOL 😂
How would you harvest the parts off of it to trick the factor head unit to recognize the auxiliary input without having to play a cassette so you can wire a 3.5mm jack or a bluetooth receiver to the audio wires from it?
Got an 89 Firebird with the factory radio it was doing the same thing then the next day you got in and it was running fine probably have to take it apart and do this fix. Can you suggest any other maintenance as long as I'm in there? Thanks.
Would you happen to have the pin lay out for the connector on this cassete deck? I want to try to trick the head unit into thinking there is a cassete and feed a Bluetooth signal. But I cannot seem to find a schematic online.
I have an ls400 98, tape player is playing more on the right side of the car is this repairable? When I play the FM radio or CD player both speakers play.
Thats azimuth adjustment or level calibration, not much info on how to work on these car decks, i have a 2000 eldorado with a tape deck that probably needs a new belt but good luck finding it
This video was a bit helpful, unfortunately, the cassette player in my 1990 Buick Reatta seems to be permanently engaged I'm and the normal feed arms seem to be stuck in the down position tho if you try to move them they'll move freely. would this be due to a missing spring or a switch being stuck in the on position? It seems to think there's a tape in it as it tries to play it back an forth then eject.
I have the exact same problem with my 91 Reatta. It thinks there is a tape in the deck when it's actually empty. It tries to play then eject. How can you defeat the tape sensor mechanism?
