cd players with car kits

I have an older Sony car cassette adaptor. On the cassette itself, there is a adjustment switch to overcome the exact problem as you stated.If you have that on this newer model of adaptor, try adjusting it. If it does or doesn't... then it sounds to me that you simply have a dirty cassette head in you car player. Pick up a cassette deck head cleaning kit and use it in your car cassette player.That should solve your problem.

This kit worked perfectly the first 2-3 times. Then the cassette adapter fritzed. To hear any sound at all, I had to turn up the volume full blast on both the CD player and the car cassette deck. Even then, highway speeds drowned out the sound. The sound was unbalanced between the speakers, coming out much more strongly from the right than the left. And the sound quality was horrible -- fuzzy, with a strong, deep, buzzy hum. I expected better of Sony. I bought a Maxell adapter and I have had no problems with it. Forget Sony and look elsewhere.
