Radioshack Bluetooth Cassette Adapter

I was looking for and found this BT adapter to use in my 2000 Lexus SUV. I really did not want wires hanging from the cassette so the BT was the best available idea instead of a new radio. It charges up to capacity a couple of hours and seems to last about 7-8 hours of play time. The instructions are simple and it worked flawlessly. Range is a little short at about 15ft - but you are in the car within 5ft of the receiver - no problem. I was waiting for a competitor's product to be released this Spring - but too bad for them. So far so good.

A week ago I probably would have highly recommended this product. Today I have to caution buyers to stay away from this product. It is a waste of your money. I bought this product just under 2 months ago. It stopped working earlier today. I really hate the kind with the headphone jack and wire but, at least those last more than 60 days. I guess that I'll have to search for my old one with the wire. Man I hate buying junk!

I did not like this product. The sound quality is horrible! And I guess I should have read the product details more carefully, because I did not realize you could not talk on the phone through this device, AND you have to charge this adapter regularly. Very disappointing! The only reason it did not get the 1 star (I hated it) rating is because I did like the idea of not having wires everywhere.

Mine works well and the battery life is good. I think it's probably around the advertised 8 hours, which is probably more than I drive my car in a month currently, so I very rarely have to charge it. However, I don't see why it needs to even use a battery and not be charged by the car. It is a hassle to remove it once the battery dies (you don't get more than a couple minutes' warning before it runs out of charge) and remember to take it inside to charge with my computer. As others have mentioned, you can't have the USB charge cable plugged in to it while it's in the tape player and have the car power it; it won't fit in that way. They should've designed it with an integrated cable or extended USB plug to connect a cable so that it could fit in the tape player and charge. I also think it should turn on and off with the tape deck play/stop; it's annoying to have to hold down the power button on it for a few seconds whenever I'm done driving (although I am usually able to do this without ejecting it).

It would've gotten the full 5 stars, but the range on the bluetooth is pretty short. Also, kinda choppy. I have to find a spot and make sure my phone doesn't move from it. Other than that, though, cool! Now I won't have to change out my old tape deck!

What a shocker! I've tried almost bluetooth music streaming device within the last 20 years! Something that should have been out and with Radio Shack's name, quality, and product support is great, only suggestions would be have call ability, charge while playing, (come on Radio Shack you can do it) other than that great sound,long playtime, easy setup and bluetooth 4 is icing on the cake. With lower power consumption and better sound/streaming quality! Great product

No issue with shipment but product did not work as expected. Charged it up per instructions then inserted into tape deck on my 2001 S500 so we could listen to Pandora or itunes playlists on our phones. While it did work, the service was terrible and the music cut out very regularly for a second or two at a time. We persevered for about 30 minutes then couldn't deal with the cutting in and out and gave up. Not recommended

Ingenious way to bring newer technology to an older car! This doesn't have the hanging wires like similar products and works flawlessly allowing me to stream from Pandora and other sources via bluetooth. It would have been nice if I could answer calls on it as well but other than that I am completely satisfied.
