Fix tape adapter / Constantly ejects
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 09. 2024
- Why is the rubber piece so important?: Sometimes, it's just too bulky. When making contact with other cogs, the bulkiness prevents the piece itself from spinning, which stops the movement of the other cogs. Being one of the few pieces with rubber, the other cogs rely on this specific piece in order to move.
It's not working. What else can I do?: If your car persists in ejecting the cassette, you may want to take the rubber piece mentioned and rub it against a surface, much like a eraser on a table - to smooth it out more. Just make sure you don't accidentally make it uneven.
NOTE:
-Removing any of the cogs won't work.
-If you choose to lubricate the cogs (which I strongly don't recommend), do it SPARINGLY to whichever pieces you're applying it to.

We'll mines doesn't even play it just ejects itself
Sucess! I tried 4 different adapters, gears in, gears out, rubber o-ring in/out, every solution didn't work. Then I read my owners manual. If you have a GM-Delco am-fm cassette system, it has a bypass that must be activated.
1- turn off radio. 2- turn key to acc 3- press and hold tape aux button for 5 seconds. a flashing cassete icon will stay on 4- put in adpater. system powers up and it does not eject. 5- using eject button cancels bypass
6- to reactivate, repeat 1-4. it works. no matter the adpater or gears.
don't know about other brands. check your manual. hope this helps.
Steve Benson THANK YOU! This is the only thing that worked for me!
+Steve Benson This worked perfectly thanks so much!
why is this not the FIRST thing that comes up when googling "How to get a cassette adapter to work on gm radio" Jezz......I've been messing with this thing for two days.....Thanks for posting that.....this video is a Lexus Radio even. YOUR THE MAN
My Ye Olde 95 Buick radio doesn't have an "tape aux" button. Any ideas? Taking out the gears won't work. Owners manual states that an aux adapter will not work.
Casey Burnett have you found a solution?
Myself, I've always had a problem with annoying cranking, squeaking, and rattling noises. I fixed this though. If you pause this at 0:51, you will see the three main cogs in the center. If you carefully lift those out (paying attention to their configuration), and put a dab of Vaseline where the large center cog rubs against the casing, and on both sides of the smaller cogs. This essentially creates a soft suction between all the parts, and eliminates the plastic on plastic crime. Cheers.
I like this vid, its helpful and hilarious cuz the way he speaks. However, this DID NOT work for me BUT i'm not saying this will not work for others. Here is what I did and so far, its works. I have the same model, i PERMANENTLY took out the gear with rubber PERIOD. Also, I sprayed the gears with a little DW40 and though I'm still skeptical, its working, I even ejected it and put it back and it works. I wish the rest of you the best. I feel you all.
It is confusing because he literally takes the piece with rubber out and then places the piece with the rubber still intact back into the cassette, and then plays the cassette in the player an it works correctly. So he effectively took it apart and then put it back together. Wut
I opened it and all my parts fell out:(
Sorry for the late reply Robbie. So, if you tried that method and it didn't work, you probably have to smooth it out some more. If you feel it, the edges aren't even/smooth, this prevents the cogs from turning which creates resistance, causing the cogs to not rotate properly and get ejected. Try this- wipe the edge on a smooth surface like you would a rubber band until smooth. Make sure the edges aren't uneven, because having the edges lopsided will cause trouble as well.
Nothing worked! The damn cassette still keeps ejecting a few seconds after I insert it in the damn radio!!!!
@MusicIsDeadToday
If you have a protective cover over it, it usually prevents the jack from plugging in all the way. If it has an equaliser, you may want to adjust that. My last guess is that if you're using those fatty headphones, and you're using the wrong jack converter- either 1.5 or 3mm.
One thing unique to ipods is the ability to adjust the sound to play exclusively on one specific earbud. This may mess with your cars audio system.
I freaking love you. I searched the internet forever to find and answer and everything was useless. And here it was on youtube all along. This fixed my adapter thing.
I actually only needed to see where that little plastic cog with the rubber on it goes. I'm fixing some exposed wires. took mine apart and out fell that piece. thought I was screwed....that is till you took yours apart. so thanks. even though my problem wasn't the same one I'm sure glad you were able to help me and for that thanks.
I am not sure if it's just the lexus sound system problem, but mine does't even play sound and just ejects it.
Same here
My Tran sAme her
Same and I have a Lexus idk how to fix it
Literally taking out every single gear made the adapter work perfectly for me
Yeah, I don't get it either. You take it out and put it back in the exact same way?
I took the rubber out and left it out and it worked but you could hear it spinning, so we put the rubber piece back in and it did work! Crazy but works! It's a brand new adapter and would not stay in originally popped out immediately and now it's fine!
Good vid, I don't understand how people don't understand what you are trying to say. For my player made by ReTrack I removed the rubber entirely and it works.
A lot of time the black rubber wheel is just useless and confuses the player, which thinks it means the tape is too tight. Removing altogether is an effective solution too.
Got lucky..just rotated that piece inside without opening it, blew in it like an old NES cartridge..and it works fine!! I think it was just stuck for not being used in 6 months
do u ever get like a rattling or clicking noise?
Rynoceros that’s what I’m trying to fix
Thank You. The 42 year old stereo in my 450SL was about to be replaced
Worked just fine for me - thank you! The road trip tomorrow is gonna be SOOOOO much better!
Good video here. It seems the old tape has some life in it left. I went ahead and bought two more before this video though. Thanks for the advice!
what's the cause for this cause I yanked my cord out until it ripped because I was mad and now i buy a new tape about a week later and I'm looking up CZcams tutorials😢 because my tape keeps consistently coming out
You can literally take that piece out and throw it away. It doesn't help a damn thing. That's what i did and it worked for me
@stelthmunky well what i found out was, that it might not be the tape, i put a different tape into my car and the same thing happened, it kept rewinding so now idk, it might be the radio
I think me and you have the same car man. Lexus Es300?
anybody have problems with a monster cassette adapter?
yea. i cant find anything on fixing it. i did this an it didnt work for me. but im about to go to town on this shit an if i figure anything out il tell you
Dustin Guernsey Amen
i dont get it! so what's the point taking it out and putting it back the way it was, could u explain?
So, my adapter makes a horribly loud buzzing, as if gears are grinding inside. After twenty minutes, with the heater on, the deck gets warm and the buzzing stops. Every adapter I bought did this. Any ideas?
I took off the rubber part, kept it off, put it together..., WORKS PERFECT!! thx so much... this was driving me insane, and smashing it on the dashboard wasn't helping :P cheers!!!
Awesome I had that exact problem and your solution worked like a charm! Thanks a lot for the helpful and concise video.
I removed the one gear and it sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t. Then I removed all the gears and it still ejects the tape. Any suggestions to try?
Still doesn't work for me... Any help?
My car has this problem but it also ejects regular cassettes. So it has to be the car's cassette player. Any idea on how to fix that?
It worked but played for a second. Going to clean it better now
I did that, still keeps rejecting my car is a 2017. I bought it new. I never used the cassette player. someone let me know.
so min does this i bought a new casset adapter and the new one does it too
it really works ! Greetings from Poland
Maybe someone here can help me:
I got an adaptor for my tape deck, but it wont stay in for longer than a second. As soon as its pushed it it settles like any other tape then is immediately spit back out. I've tried it just the adaptor, I've tried it with my music plugged in and playing, nothing helps. I can play regular tapes with no problem. I've tried other adaptors from other brans and they all do the same thing.
I think the problem is that the cord is preventing the door from closing all the way, so as some sort of safety mechanism the deck spits it back out. I was thinking of trying to remove that little door entirely, but I dont want to break the whole thing. Any ideas anyone?
Same exact thing for me... Figure anything out?
wait so you take off the rubber thingy then put it back on then you re-place the that piece back into the tape?
I took my cassette adapter apart before seeing this video but failed to see where 2 tiny springs came from. I found a hole where they might have been then reassembled the cassette adapter. Still not fixed though.
Try taking the rubber piece off entirely and try again
YESSS! I own the same car and been having the same exact problem!! (I'm currently listening to Slipknot's Iowa)! Thanks for the vid!
DemiseMusic&Entertainment Iowa is the shit I love the old slipknot
Hell yeah!! People = Shit!!!
I think i know what the problem is with mine, its the heads on my tape player, its not catching the spinning parts on the tape itself, the heads on my tape player are worn so it just partially grabs the cassette spinners, so the tape doesnt even really play, have u guys removed your deck to see if your tape player geads are worn like mine?
I don't know why this works, but it did. Thank you.
What if it is a regular cassette and not an adapter?
Will try this. It's aggravating when the player keeps rejecting the adapter. Having an autistic who loves music he gets ballistic when it does it constantly which both problems make it hard to concentrate on driving. Thanks
Mine still ejects completely from the player. so I may just be getting a new one tomorrow
mine was doing this just because I accidently selected side 2 and it would spit it back out
I found this video very helpful, thank you stelthmunky.
i bought my car and the owner left one of these adapters in it. i put it in and it just sounds awful. just buy a new one or try this?
Do you take off the rubber and put it back on? With out the rubber
i threw away the instructuions and now im dead in the water, no online sources tell me how to work this thing. I plug it in but it just buzzes and no music plays
Or how you did it
I have no idea how this worked, but it did.
can someone help me, i have the EXACT same one shown in the video, i tried your method on the video and it didnt work, it keeps making that clicking noise. :[
why not take all the gears out
love that song!!!!
Am having the same problem. Tried your solution, unfortunately didn't work for me (thx, n.e.way). Maybe the player head itself needs to be cleaned, anyone try it before I give it a go?
I like your music taste lmao
I tried that and it didn't work
What songs are played in this?
You Are Amazing...! Thanks So Much For This Video 🙌
It worked, thank you bruh.
Dude, thank you so much, I was sure I just wasted fifteen bucks.
all u gotta do is smoothen the rubber?
i did everything and it plays then stops and plays again then stops and spits itself out .. with and without the parts
mine does too. what kind of car do you have?
+Donnie Simmon a dodge caravan
A slightly old thread, but if I remember correctly; the cassette player in Chrysler/Dodge vehicles equipped with it can be a little picky with adapters. In my 300M, it would only read some adapters with the bottom up. A fix I did was to remove the auto-reverse gear in the adapter, you just need to make sure the other gears are aligned properly or it will not be read.
If that doesn't work, try a cleaning cassette (usually packaged as a head unit cleaner). Owner's manual recommends cleaning the cassette deck occasionally because it does get dirty.
Hope this helps!
Easier and quicker solution and never have to mess with it again: take all of the gears out and throw them away, put it back together and wala. Stick it back in and enjoy playing music.
Thank you so much
whats happen when you do it without the rubber??
You risk getting her pregnant
how can you tell if its smooth enough? im rubbin it but i see no change email me pleaseeee
whats the metal song?
Not working. Help me!!!!
this worked for me, thanks
good work dude! goodie goodie
All you saying that he didn't take the rubber piece out, are simply mistaken. He put the wheel back without the rubber ring. Geez, how dense are you people??

i need this video in spanish because no speak inglish
+Willi Frias abre el cassette y al engrane que menciona el compa quitale el aro de gomita que lo rodea, si es esteren, quita los tornillos y luego voltealo y abrelo para que no se te caigan todos los engranes. FIN (si funciona)
+Char3v Muy impresionate 10/10
It worked thanks
Don't waste time doing this -- it doesn't work. Nor does removing the cog with the rubber on it or any other part of the adapter. This product is just defective, plain and simple. Sometimes the adapter works if I warm my car up first -- but sometimes during the summer when the weather's warm the adapter still does the auto-eject thing. I've yet to find a way to actually fix this product. But, yeah, don't waste your time taking it apart--it doesn't fix anything.
+StrangeAngel03 Yeah I didn't think dismantling would work anyways. I had a Philips cassette adapter and it keeps ejecting constantly. Sometimes it goes for a few good 5 minutes, at least one song. I finally had it and upgraded to getting the Monster cassette adapter, it was $20, $10 more. Yet, it's doing the same thing. If what you say is true, about it being a defective, then I can go back to Walmart and exchange it. Also, the weather does have effect on the cassette because it heats up your radio as well. But even when I fixed my AC, it still ejects. Even on cold nights. I remember I somehow fixed this problem before, but I forgot what method I used.
+Jose B. its ejecting ot autoflipping because of the tension in the tape adapter. I used both the monster and the philips and if you remove the lower gear assembly and lightly wd-40 the gears inside so they move easier, along with not screwing in the screws all the way, leave the a little loose so its not too tight, and it works. havent had either pop out for over half a year.
*sniff*
Doesn't work.
Haha hes got the ssme lexus radio problem i got! HAHA
I don't know, the cassette works just on one car, but in the other one it keeps doing it! -.-!!!!!
mine saids check tape
Thx bra it worked
bless the fall?? :)
man I love you
You ain’t even say what you did
wtf all he does iis:
take apart
get rubber piece
pull it apart, put it back together,
now it just works.... im calling bullshit
ill be honest, i did too until i did it and it worked. no clue how it worked, but it did
Jared Bauman didnt work for me. i took off rubber smoothed it out a bit and replaced it and put it back together and still ejects. what am i doing wrong?
gracias char3v
I just did this and it felt like I was doing brain surgery
THIS IS THE WORST FUCKIN TAPE CASSETTE ADAPTER EVER
WTF is this all the videos I'm watching are about adapters and not how to fix the actual cassette player
+pavy415 because its not the cassette players issue, its the adapter thats making it be forced to eject itself
+Suzukara Mei well I tried lots of cassette tapes I have and mine keeps ejecting every tape so it isn't the adapter it's the player itself
+pavy415 If you don't wanna replace the whole thing then a last-ditch effort would be to buy some compressed air and go to town on the inside of the tape deck.
Dafuq u listening to cuh?
