Hi, this is an upgraded version of my other instructable :

Literally : Dock your Ipod to your car audio cassette slot

The instructions wont be as thorough as my first version so if you are confused on whats happening, just check out the first one. This new version is more flexible which can accommodate other kinds of gadgets as long as it can slide in to the cassette slot.

Open your deck and remove some objects to open up some space. Be careful when removing pcb boards that are attached to the cassette mechanism because it might disable your deck. Try  testing the deck every time you remove something to insure the deck will still work.

 You could take this a little further...

Get an iPod cable. Follow the pinouts to not only connect your music but charge the iPod/iPhone at the same time. (Obviously turn the iPod around and insert the bottom first.)

You may want to line everything with felt for a tighter, friendlier dock.

yeah, I also heard the pin-out audio is unamplified, so you get much better sound. I can't believe how nicely that fits in there too. Great Ideas.

You might even be able to adapt the Play, FF, and Rev to the adapter cable and actually use the cassette player buttons to skip forward and backwards from song to song. I know a lot of iPod docks have the external buttons that do just that.

If you could just make it feed the Ipod like the cassette tape, THAT would be even cooler! Great use of the tape player though!

Awesome. I  Must try it. I can't believe I didn't think of it myself. I don't even use the tape deck because of the auxiliary for my ipod. My Friends will be jealous and I will be awesome. Indirectly, that makes you awesome. No wait, you were already awesome in the first place for making this instructable. Hold on, it's the 2nd version so you have made it before. Thus, you are double awesome. Now wait just a bit here, being double awesome means you're TRIPLE awesome, that's like three times the awesome I am, and that's awesome.

Great Instructable.

If I did this I would put a bluetooth adapter in the cassette deck. Then I could use it with my phone.

Do it and make an instructable!  I'd love to know how to do that.

I would combine this instructable and
www.instructables.com/id/Bluetooth-for-your-car/
except It would all be in the dash.
