I purchased this product in April 2009. In January 2010 the product stopped working properly. It now skips sound every 5 seconds or so. I tried calling Coby's warranty service and their CSR verified what I feared. The warranty is exactly as it states on Coby's on website:[...] . In order to get a replacement you have to send the original item back to Coby (which will likely cost you $4 shipping) AND you must send them a $6 money order to cover return shipping back to you. So essentially the warranty is useless as it's going to cost you more to get a replacement then buying a new one from Amazon. The product did work perfectly for 8-9 months so if you are ok with spending $9 every 8-9 months then this product might be ok for you (assuming you get one that lasts as long as mine did), otherwise look elsewhere.

When I first started using this, I loved it. It worked fine in my car cassette deck and had decent sound. Then, after about a week or so, it stopped working. It would no longer play in my cassette deck, which ejected it as soon as I put it in every time.

Over the past 2 years, I've bought 3 of these cassette adaptors: one for myself, and 2 for my parents, who both have nice new iPods as of last Christmas. 2 of them worked in several different cassette players (including 2 different auto-reverse cassette players), and the sound quality was great. The third one would not work at all in an auto-reverse cassette player, so I sent it back and Amazon.com refunded it with no problem. We replaced it with a MP3-radio transmitter, which works almost as well as the cassette adaptor was supposed to.

This item is great. My first one lasted two years and only broke because I got it wedged in my parking break and yanked too hard and messed up the wires. I am re-purchasing because it is a cheap, effective way to listen to an ipod through your tape deck. MY car is ten years old and when its super cold out, sometimes the tape deck keeps spitting the adapter out. My trick is to bang it a few times on something and insert it again. Other than that, the thing is flawless. You'll see other ones on Amazon for much more and the reviewers seem to have issues.

I needed a way to listen to my iPod in my car, but I didn't want to spend a lot of money because I don't spend that much time in my car. I tried a few of the less expensive FM transmitters and they either did not work at all, or they worked so poorly that I quit using them.This is a good product for someone who needs functionality over premium sound quality. Overall--excellent for the price.

Like some other reviews on here, I received this product, inserted it into my cassette deck, and plugged in an iPhone -- only to find that the right channel of the music wasn't working. No matter what I did (reinserting the cassette, fiddling with the plug, etc) I could not get the right half of any audio to work. Went to a local store and bought a different brand of cassette adapter (Maxell)...that one worked perfectly right away with full stereo sound. This Coby product has poor quality control, for whatever reason the right channel will not work (my guess would be a problem with the cable or plug). Don't waste your money, buy a different brand!
