nakamichi or pioneer?
Pioneer; would it make a difference?
I guessed as much...It totally makes a difference. Pioneer tape players suck major balls(after 15 years). They hiss alot and they go bad all the time (very un lexus like!) Trust me, i bought so many pioneer stereos , about 4, not including the faulty ones in the cars(2 ls400s). Thats 6 faulty decks.
There is hope though. Find a 90-92 nakamichi. They have the same connectors and the tape player is awesome and sound is much clearer. Also you will get a more bass, mid and treble. Never skips much less hiss and they are very well built. DONT GET 93-94, they wont fit. Trust me. Find a nak! 90-92.
i see, i had no idea! well, unless this is remarkably cheap to do, i likely won't change the stereo system just for the cassette player :P
but i'm curious, how much would something like this cost (buying the system and installing it)?

Hey JM, did you try reversing the play direction of the cassette? Not trying to be sarcastic :) Mine plays in one direction, and not the other
heh, i can try, but the wire only comes out one way? It makes this clicking kind of noise, or like something is getting scraped inside and the tape won't play, so it pops the tape right out.
the cassette slides right in and the wire is on the right side, so i didn't really consider putting it in the other way.
Hey JM, I'm sorry I should have been more clear. I meant pressing the button that reverses the direction of play for the tape. I'm not sure if this will help cosnidering your cassette player is making clicking noises, and ejecting the tape etc. Good luck bud
oh lol, i didn't know such a button ever existed (i'm young, cassette players are a bit old school to me). i'll definitely check it out, thanks.

I've got a '92 Lexus LS400 and it's in reasonably good condition, meaning the cd player, radio, etc. all is in perfect working condition. However, I've finally gotten around to buying one of those cassette tape adapters so I can play my iPod in the car. However, after buying a Belkin one that didn't work, I bought another brand that worked in two other cars (my mother's RX300 and a friend's Taurus) but still doesn't work in my car.
Is this more likely a problem with my tape player (I wouldn't know why though) or a problem with kind of tape player that my car has?
Thanks for any help.

okay i've looked at it again, but it seems like there's no such button to reverse the direction.
