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.

Cheap Product, Don't Bother
I bought this for my parents to connect an MP3 player in their car. The first time they used it, it didn't work properly. It would only send the sound through half the speakers in their car. The one that I had for myself (a Panasonic) worked fine in their car and this one seemed to work in mine, so we swapped. I've used this SONY one about 5 times and it's already broken. Don't waste your time!
The best car cassette adapter I ever tried - great sound, works for years
I tried Monster, I tried Memorex, and the *ONLY* cassette adapter that I have ever purchased that ever sounded great (let alone good) and worked reliably is the Sony CPA-9C. Period.
I've had them for several years now.
The sound out of my new iPhone 3GS in my old BMW 528 is awesome.
It works as-is with no mini-jack adapter in the 3G and 3GS but not in the original iPhone.
My only complaint is that I can't use the iPhone 3GS voice control when the cassette adapter is plugged into the iPhone. But that isn't Sony's fault.
Works great
Works like a charm. No problems at all. I would recommend it to all my friends.
Great Sound, One Problem!
This adapter has great sound quality.
I bought 2 of these and they worked great the first couple weeks.
Then they started making mechanical noise.
I found a solution to the problem.
Get a can of silicone lubricant spray.
Insert the straw, and very carefully spray the silicone only in the two drive wheels in the middle of the cassette adapter, Try not to get it on anything else. I suggest covering the sound head with a napkin. You may have to do this once in a while, but it works. The noise stops.
Fantastic, thank you!
