 Works great for me April 24, 2007

I'm glad I bought this before reading the other reviews because it works great for me in my 2000 Lexus RX300. Our 1999 Ford Escort will spit it out a few times when it is first inserted, but it eventually stays in. The cassette forward and reverse buttons work as advertised. The sound quality is very good. For me this was a much better solution than an FM transmitter.
 Completely Depends on you Cassette Player March 14, 2007
I drive a '97 Ford Taurus and this device works great in my cassette player. It was a plug and play kind of deal, very easy to use. The sound quality is decent. There is a light lo fi mist sound in between tracks. Overall, it's a treat for me to listen to my I-pod in my old hoopty. It may not work for your ride though.
CAUTION: Before you purchase call Griffin at (615) 399-7000 to check compatibility. It didn't work in my wife's 2002 Toyota Corolla.
 lousy item, lousy seller January 7, 2007

wasn't clearly advertised as not appropirate for nano, not even worth the postage to return
Avoid it...unuseable. December 5, 2006

As noted this thing makes a tremendous amount of mechanical noise. At first I thought maybe my car had a defective tape deck (I'd never used it before buying this, as I usually listen to XM or CD's). So I tried a regular tape: no problem, it was virtually noiseless. I'm disappointed because I normally associate Griffin with higher quality iPod accessories. No more. I'd also note that this is probably the most expensive of the simple cassette adapters on the market. What a ripoff.
 Cheaply made December 1, 2006
Despite my almost fanatical attention to pulling on the plug and not the wire over the six months I've owned this thing, the sheathing on the wire came loose anyway and exposed the wires inside. Also, what may be related is that SmartDeck seems to have lost its mind: it now seems to send the iPod all kinds of strange signals; songs skip and repeat at random.
