Btw, even if you clean the tape player, ou still have to clear the code from the memory. Press and hold "EJECT" for 5 seconds to clear the error code. The stereo should then displa "---". Took me a while to figure out why the tape adapter wasn't working even after cleaning lol.
I have never tried that, but I understand that doesn't work very well, especially in a car where the antenna is in the back of the car.
Works just fine in my car... I can put it under the dash in the alero and pick up the signal in my truck 50 ft away... I just have the el cheapo digital one from walmart...the station i usually turn it to has a station that i pick up clear but barely and it still sufficiently works
