SteveT Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 OK , it looks like this topic has been hit before , but not for some time. Is there a way to eliminate cassette player without getting and error message? And what is the best way to wire in an MP3 outlet? I would love to replace my cassette with a panet containing 2 amp usb charging ports and a plug to hook up to my audio on my phone or an mp3 player. Also is it possible to wire a usb port to the radio so that I could use memory sticks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-a-n-i-e-l Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 You won't get any error messages. But you will need to keep the tape player if you intend to wire a auxiliary input in. Personally if you are going to put USB outlets in, I would use one that has a 3.5 mm jack and hard wire/splice it into the tape deck wires. That way if you lose battery power you can still plug the tape deck in to activate the auxiliary in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retiredmechanic74 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I removed my cassette player completely and installed a radio I got from China Mart for a hundred dollars that has blue tooth, am/fm, cd, sd card, usb, aux, dvd and will play music from my phone. Now I can talk on the phone hands free while watching a movie while going 70 miles an hour in rush hour traffic. ++ I 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
