Connect your Portable CD Player to your car stereo with the help of this Sony Car Cassette Adaptor!
The Sony CPA-9C cassette adaptor allows you to connect your minidisc or CD player to a vehicle cassette player. While this Sony product works best with Sony CD and MD players, the adaptor will operate with non-Sony products as well. There are a couple of key features to this adaptor which make it a fine choice. The first notable feature is the spring-loaded head. The head will automatically adjust itself to your vehicle's cassette deck, ensuring that the two heads have optimum contact and transfer the best possible sound. The second key feature is the silent mechanism. A silent mechanism yields less operational noise and a better quality MD or CD sound. This adaptor works with all cassette players which require you to insert the tape opening facing the side. The mini-plug inserts into a portable CD or MD headphone jack. The cassette adaptor is a cheap way to make your vehicle CD and MD operational.

Best For Less
I won't go into a great long review of the thing. It works and works well. At first I heard a bit of noise from the mechanism but I hit the reverse button for tape direction and then back again, and that was it even when turned low. The only noise I heard was just a very low hiss not even of the amplitude one one get from a high quality tape with Dolby engaged, when I shut the car off. During playback...freak'n magnificent. I never write reviews--sorry--but this is really the best jury-rig type solution I have ever used. Superb sound using a factory system in a 2004 Toyota Avalon XLS. PS Stay away from the FM systems. I use the base to hold and charge my Classic, but it's plugged into the cassette device. FM system was totally useless, and I live in a fairly small community--120,000. PPS Going to buy another and see how it works on my home deck. Enjoy!
ok for the money
You can hear the wheels turning when sound is low, with occasional crackling as with cassette tapes, but overall it not that bad
Excellent Buy!
I ordered this item and it arrived within two days! It has been a great choice for quality.
Much better than spending $250 for a stereo $250 stereo jack..
I have a 2006 Acura TL and it costs over $250 to connect my iphone directly to my stereo using an aftermarket conversion kit. This thing costs like $10, works fine, and is well worth the money. The sound quality is surprisingly good, but your mileage may vary, depending on how good of a cassette deck you have. Just make sure that you don't accidentally change the tape play direction on your cassette deck, or you can strip the head!
Brought My Car Up To Date
I received a Monster FM adapter to play my Mp3s & was not at all satisfied...it was like listening to a distant radio station with fuzzy reception. So I purchased the Sony Connecting Pack & when it arrived, I was very pleased, the sound is direct & crystal clear...I had to get new speakers to fully appreciate the full effect and enjoy my music. I have several different Mp3 players, & all of them work like a charm with this unit...I would recommend a 'Sony Walkman Car Connecting Pack for MD Walkman and CD Walkman (Model#CPA-9C)' to any one with a cassette player in their car who wants to enter the 21st century & enjoy their digital music on the go.
