Arsvita Car Audio Bluetooth Cassette Receiver, Tape Player Bluetooth 5.0 Cassette to Aux Adapter

Purchased this a while ago, there have been mixed reviews, but I thought I'd give it a chance, since my old car doesn't have an aux jack and replacing the radio is not in the budget.This device works great!Pros:-inexpensive-easily connects-audible cues to power on, connect, and power off-visible LED lights for power indication and connectionThis device never fails to connect to my LG phone. Sometimes it gets confused if I have two devices connected (I use this for music and podcasts in the car, and my headset for phone calls), but I just power it on and off, and it connects to media audio just fine, leaving my phone connection unharmed.Cons:-LED flashes continuously while in use; it's bright enough to be a bit distracting at night-sometimes the switch doesn't connect just right, and I have to try more than once to get it to power on-definitely not good for phone calls, though it does have a microphoneWhen it's losing power, it tells you by interrupting the audio to demand charging; and when it reaches this stage, you have about 3 minutes of power left before it shuts down.Overall, this is totally worth the price. I've heard other complaints of "I can hear the mechanism." Can I hear it? Yes, if the music is quiet or between songs. Does it distract me, personally, that I can hear it? No. I barely notice it. The sound quality is great, but that's probably more a function of the nice sound system the car came with. I am glad I found this, it has breathed new life into an older car radio. I'll be good as long as the cassette mechanism keeps running.

I like to listen to my local tv news station and my Calm app on my drive to work. My Bluetooth speaker wasn't loud enough, phone calls are fine but anything else wasn't. This is very clear and works just like it says. Battery life must be really long, because i rarely charge it. The microphone?, don't buy this to talk to people on your phone going down the road. It picks up all the noise in the car. I think if it had a extension cable to get it closer to your voice it could be fine. It does what i bought it for, so im happy with purchase.

Left this identical review for the other color cassette: So I bought this about a year and a half ago, and it worked amazing, quick connection, good bass response, the highs were high and the lows were low. After the cable snapped from constant use and switching cars multiple times, it was time for a replacement. This new one seems to last longer with charges, but my subs don’t hit hard anymore. I had to turn my bass from +3 to +6 to even notice any response at all, it’s just not the same so I’m at a loss and kinda bummed that I can’t cruise with the same sound quality anymore. I’m not sure what was done different but it’s not loud anymore

First day I used it, it worked fine. Sound quality was pretty sub-standard, but it worked. Next day, the tape kept ejecting. Then I'd get it to work for a song or two, then it would eject again. Then it would keep ejecting, or "flip" to the other side...then flip back and eject. Basically, it didn't work 90% of the time, and when it did, the sound quality was bad. I know it has worked for some people, but if you're reading this, I wouldn't take the chance. Get one of the ones that does bluetooth through an empty FM station. Bought one of those, and it works great. It's an Anker...something or other. Skip the cassette receiver.

I have a 1999 Cadillac with an original equipment AM-FM cassette radio. This little device enables me to stream music from my iPhone to the system via the cassette player.It connects easily and quickly, and the sound is better than any cassette I’ve heard on it.This device is a great value!

Needed to eject it every time I turned off the car, because it doesn't start up again otherwise (yes even after turning the bluetooth off,) which would have been fine, had it not continuously then flipped and got stuck in the stereo.Do not recommend, unless you're okay buying several to switch out.

I ordered the Arsvita Us1AKca008, I was sent a product with the SKU: Us1AKca004. I don't know if they are different- nowhere on the box, packaging or manual does it mention Bluetooth 5.0. Anyways, my new unit sync'd-up easily enough, but when inserted into my tape deck it would play for short random times and then eject. Others have reported similar problems with all known similar designs across manufacturers. One reviews outlined the removal of the gears outline in picture (Step .) Use a small phillips. Removes 6 screws. Gingerly pry open case- needle nose inserted closed into business side of cassette and opened slowly makes this easier than prying with a sharp blade. All components will remain in lower half. Lift out the wheel gears AFTER taking a picture for reference. Save these parts... just in case. Take a picture of the battery part number, so you can order one when your battery no longer holds a full charge. * My player did not have much clearance when the cassette tried to seat- because the wire comes out the end of the cassette. I used a HOT clothes hanger to elongate the hole allowing the wire to exit the cassette at an angle that does not interfere with it resting flat in the player. Put it all together- less the gears you removed. Mine does not eject by itself anymore. This device is the easiest- but by no means the best sounding solution. The overall quality lacks power, so audio is fair, not HIFI. Volume is weak- need to turn volume up- so watch it when you return to radio play. I'm hoping they'll improve the product. Look at the computer Apple stuffed into a watch :7j
