I got this cassette adapter for my truck. As other reviewers said, it isn't the one pictured with the coil, and it's black. Mine must have been sitting in storage for a while because the 3.5mm connector to your audio device (mp3 player, phone, whatever) was oxidized and had a bad connection (intermittent sound, either left/right working but not both, etc.) I believe that once I give the connector a decent cleaning that it'll work fine.Beats an FM transmitter any day of the week though.
