I saw a thread on here that was about the same problem I'm having, but I never saw a solution, so I'm posting again.

I have a 99 Chevy Tahoe, and I have NEVER used the cassette player since I've had it (2-1/2 years)!!

I bought an cassette adaptor to play my music from my ipod some months ago, but never used it. I was preparing for a long trip recently, and tried using the cassette player, but to my dismay it won't play ANY cassettes!!!!

It will just kick it back out. It doesn't even seem like it's turning the spindle that's inside.

Does anyone have any suggestions for fixing this problem other than replacing the whole unit, 'cause that's REALLY not an option for me right now, with money being as tight as it is.

Use an FM adapter to transmit your iPod over an FM frequency. Some even hook up to your antenna plug to improve reception and reduce noise. A new cassette deck will set you back abt $80 whereas an adapter is about $25-$30. IMO, the separate deck was the worst option GM thought of. I'm already looking for aftermarket units to replace my POS.

to repair this cassette player would be extremely expensive...this is because GM has top secret componet listings....Ive been there and done that...


as the other member suggested and as I have done. the IPOD is used with the FM transmitter...the model I got was from best buy for about the 80-100.oo range...works on 88.mhz. but you can shift the frequency so as to reduce interference if any is found...


this method works far better than the cassette as the sound will be much better...


also this setup can be used in any vehicle ...as cassettes are long since dead with the 8 track ...

Thanks guys!!!
