I did not believe the negative reviews but boy was I wrong. I thought how can you go wrong with a tape adapter? You can! This product is very different from a high quality one I have from Sony - it is ten years old and still works, except for the cord having a small short from years of abuse. This Scosche adapter is rubbish! The magnetic head for transferring the audio to your device is small, half as small as my Sony's. Also it is not flush with the base of the adapter as it should be. The result? If your device is not sensitive enough, it will read absolutely nothing. No sound, no point, don't buy!
