With this placed to the side, the tape player was easily accessible. The CD player lifted off as its own unit, attached only by a sturdy ribbon cable. Once those pieces are off, the goodies are exposed. Once all the screws were out, the sides and top came off like like a puzzle, with some hidden interlocking tabs.the front control panel also easy pulls off. Luckily that voice was muffled by the loud non-80s music I was listening to. With each screw I took out, the voice inside my head telling me I shouldn't be doing this grew louder. Why would i pass up an opportunity to tear something apart? To see whats inside? No, this has to be done the hard way. I might have even been able to get a pretty penny for this old hunk-o-junk. I could have even bought a slightly more interesting bluetooth cassette that would have plugged right in, end of story. Now, i could have been a normal, boring human, and gone to the local car audio section of my favorite department store or online retail giant, and bought a compatible bluetooth stereo. This is great, except for the terrible frequency range of the tape adapters, the static noise, the inevitable broken 3.5mm plugs, the wire that gets tangled around everything in the front seat, and just the constant reminder that my car is 15 years old. But you will be missing out.Īs much as i used to love buying random 80's cassettes for 50 cents from thrift stores and jamming out to the early days of synthesized music, i found that recently i use my deck exclusively for an auxiliary adapter plugged into my phone so i can listen to far superior non-80s music via Spotify. If you'd like to skip the journey, the last step has a quick summary of the key steps. In this Instructable I will show you, or better yet take you on the journey of how I managed to modernize my 2002 Suzuki by hacking the tape deck into a modern age Bluetooth stereo.
