All-Or-Nothing Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 My Dad has a 2004 Crown Vic and wants a new headunit. Problem is he wants built in Handsfree for his phone and Mom requires it to have a cassette player. Closest I have found is a radio from a Focus with cassette and bluetooth streaming. Only way out of the cassette is to find all her old gospel music on CD and that just ain't happening. She refuses to go CD if she can't still have all her gospel music. I have kicked around the idea of a double din in the dash with NAV/Handsfree and run a 1 din deck in the glove box just for cassettes going into the double din thru the AUX plugs. Don't know how well that would work out tho'. Seems like my only option. I am willing to try an aftermarket Handsfree kit but it can't be an AUX unit as I think they only work if the radio is using the AUX IN. This would not allow my Mom to play cassettes and have the Handsfree also work at the same time.(I could be wrong) Please help me out......thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The part about that is transferring all that over. Probably my best bet. Just wish there was a headunit with cassette AND handsfree built in.

Krakin Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 It's there not some kind of cassette to USB you could get for it? Krakin's Home Dipole Project http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/186153-krakins-dipole-project-new-reciever-in-rockford-science/#entry2772370 Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist? I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . . What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself but what has drawn your attention in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears, thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

reedal Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Most if not all aftermarket HU's have a 3.5mm aux port. Buy your Bluetooth HU, get 3.5mm aux cable and a portable cassette player. Done. Not ideal for the cleanest signal at high volumes, but it will work. /thread SMD Tool Map https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/193176-smd-tool-map-new-november-2014/ Build log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/197217-reeds-03-tahoe-hat-sqaq-singer-xs-shca-cockbox-80prs/?page=32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotorCityFats13 Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 just what I was going to say.... aux cable and an old walkman.... with changing tech you really cant get it like it was where you hit 1 button and pop a tape in and have BT hands free.... you probably will not even find a cassette deck with an aux jack so you can add on the BT...

Colin - STAPUFT Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 ^ by far the easiest way....it kind of defeats the purpose of the hands free though if you mom has to "fiddle" with two different things. My folks are so tech illiterate that they would't be able to handle switching from tape to cd to aux 12 - 12"s in the STAY PUFT 1989 Chevy Astro Build & Comment Log Un-Interrupted Build LogYouTube Channel Chevy Trailblazer 5.1 Dolby Digital DTS Install You have a beard of a mysterious sea captain.
