ipod cassette adapter won't work in nakamichi

[gdean23]

Just bought a '98 GS 300 in excellent condition.  Tried a cassette adapter for my ipod in the Nakamichi tape deck, but it no sound.  Any suggestions or tips?

Will the tape player play cassette tapes?  (Assuming you can find one!)  If not, it may be "dead". 

I had a company in California add a 3.5mm aux-in port to the Nakamichi in the 2000 LS400 that I used to have:  http://factoryradioservice.com/page.html?id=1  I got the deluxe version with the on/off switch on the front of the radio and the 3.5mm port in the back.  A 6' aux-in cable was included as part of the deal.

He can also add Bluetooth A2DP streaming ... or I should say "instead" since I doubt if you would want both aux-in and Bluetooth.

Be aware that nobody repairs Nakamichi anymore.  The supply of repair parts dried up years ago.
