Elook Car Audio Receiver, Bluetooth Cassette Receiver Tape Aux Adapter Player with Bluetooth 5.0

The sound quality is great; way better than expected. The gears inside did make a little noise, but you could only hear it if the volume was all the way down. I removed the 6 screws, split the case open, and put a real light coat of grease on the gears. No more noise! It still gets 5 stars because it sounds great and you could only hear the gears when the volume was all the way down.

I’ve been wanting to add Bluetooth to my 4Runner, but except for not having Bluetooth the factory radio was great. I went to Amazon just looking for a wired cassette adapter like I have used in the past. I went to Amazon to see how much they went for, and to my surprise, it comes in a Bluetooth version. It works great. The instructions were simple. I had it up and running within four minutes for unboxing . The only thing I regret is that I didn’t look more into it. It turns out they also make them with a microphone for hands-free phone calls. I didn’t even see that as an option, but I was what I was looking at the first time. I had forgotten about the fact that my phone doesn’t even have a jack anymore so I would’ve had to I would’ve had Bluetooth anyway. It sounds great.

Really does work. I discovered that the LED sticks out the side too much and causes problems. In some cassette players the sticking out LED prevents the tape from sitting in the deck properly. Basically, the tape wants to sit in the player loosely and more to the left, but it cant go left because the led prevents it.Can cause the sound problems and (in my case) stop the sprockets from turning by not allowing the tape to float / move.So far this is only a problem in one of my cassette players. Works perfectly in my other two. I have another cassette player arriving in a few days. Will try this device on that one too..If you buy this or already have it, make sure the tape sprockets are turning. If they don't turn, stop using this device because the tape belt(s) will get ruined.Some tape players: If the sprockets are not turning, you MAY be able to hit pause and still hearthe audio. This will protect the belt(s) This is what I'm doing!Other than the LED issue (in some tape players) this is a pretty good device. Bluetooth works fine. No problems. I'm keeping mine.-Scott

tl;dr: Bluetooth adaptors are not ready for prime time, just use a regular aux Cassette adaptor from target.I had used a regular Cassette adaptor I bought from Target. It lasted ~1 year or more before the aux wire kinked to failure (we all know the feeling and we all know when it is imminent.)Realized bluetooth adaptors were a thing now. I already switched to bluetooth headphones so why not?I bought one at Walmart, and it immediately had connection issues so I returned it.I bought this one due to promises of auto-sleep (many adaptors you need to eject, switch the power off... Not difficult, but more steps & hassle than the Cassette aux adaptor I had been using for the last year).Unfortunately, this one did not serve well either... As other reviewers commented, the sound of audio is extremely low and the audio quality was not that good either, almost zero bass, and flat overall. The auto-off function did not work well for me at home / work.I wish bluetooth adaptors found a way to power the adaptor by the Cassette player, but oh well. So of course this is one thing to have to charge... I also do not understand how aux Cassette adaptors can have the aux cable popping out but these BT adaptors cannot be charged while in use.Overall, I returned it and just bought the same aux Cassette adaptor from target.

When I tell you I tried every Bluetooth adapter I did but this by far is the best one, I’ve bought three so far AND the most recent one is type c so props for keeping up with chargers, I used it on my classic 1972 Firebird and love that it looks stock still with good audio, no static no nothing. Only complaint I have is I wish the cassette would not beep when it’s low and instead turn off when almost dead so I can enjoy music without loud beeps but overall awesome product for my cars.

It doesn’t have super clear sound quality, but between playing it directly from my iPhone and trying to hear it with car noise versus plugging it in, I’d rather plug it in and hear.

Works great, easy to pair, sound is very good. I have a 2007 Kia Sportage with the premium sound. It was before Bluetooth was standard. This works great and sounds awesome. I use Amazon music and it works without issue. If your stereo is crap it will sound like crap obviously. Buy this one

It works OK, but it's annoying that I have to eject it, turn the power on, and push it back in every time I get back in the car.It even has a timed shutoff to help save battery, but why?All you need to do is use the rotation of the tape drive to turn the unit on and off. When I get out of the car, the cassette deck stops rotating. Shut it off.When I get back in and turn the key, the cassette player starts spinning this faux cassette. Turn it on!
