Auto Reverse Cassette deck
 
Ok guys, I use one of those things that has a dummy cassette tape with a cord coming out of it to plug my ipod into my truck...

Lately the auto reverse deck has decided it wants to switch the tape back and forth every other second so it will not play right. I've tried blowing out the deck with those spray can things, and now I'm at a loss. What do I do???

I've been told that my dummy cassette adapter thingy isn't compatible with my deck, but it worked fine for the first couple of weeks

Oh yeah, and now I found out that my high pressure power steering hose is squirting fluid at a not-so-pleasant rate, so there is another $20 fix

Its magnetized. Get a cassette tape cleaner that will demagnitize it. After playing tapes on there for a while it will build up magnetism.

I thought about that, but I was told by the electronics lady at Meijer that they dont' make things like that anymore

You will have to demagnitize it. It can be done by some cleaner, which are not expensive.

Find me a new head unit for under $50 and I'll consider it, until then, I just filled up my tank and it cost $94

I thought about something like that, but I want something that will fit into the same slot as what I have be it either radio or cassette. I am not a fan of the aftermarket drop down tacky stuff

This is probably the most chosen to fit the GM Din and a 1/2 radio slots. Those new usually 379.00 I had one. Sound really great!!

Drop down tacky stuff? What on Earth are you talking about? The radio goes right inside the new A/C vent cover. Looks good and sounds GOOOOOD! After hearing it you will not mind how it looks as much.

GMCSierraFan 06-05-2009 05:03 PM

A/C vent cover??? I realize that the second one will fit but the first one?? If thats the case, I have a Pioneer DEH-3400 sitting next to me

timber74wolf 06-05-2009 08:00 PM

In the 92 model did the dash change? I had a 90 model and the aftermarket radio went under teh center a/c vents. Is your radio located in a different location? Either way all you have to do is get amounting kit unless you are using the din and a half radio.
