tape deck help

[Expedition907]

I have an 04 expedition, the stock tape player makes grinding noise when injected with a tape and tries to flip sides and plays music then ejects and displays Bad Tape...any info?

first time its done that before. stock CD player works fine, I was using the tape adapter for my ipod. which would someone prefer buying? I was checking out Bluetooth for hook up with ipod instead of wires or line in.

They make an ipod adapter for our trucks...vs old school way ur doing it...really...I would buy another hu with bt/ipod...well worth the cange and they aren't that costly as u may think...if money is a concern I totally understand

If you want to stay 'old school' check this first:

On your little cassette adapter thing, make sure when you spin one of the wheels that the other one spins too. If it doesn't, then you need a new adapter. If the 'feed wheel' doesn't spin, it triggers the cassette player to reverse.

Freeway can you restate that in English - sorry I didn't understand what you meant with the initials. I'm using one of those FM transmitters and I hate it. I'd like to find a better way to connect my iPod and satellite radio to the stock radio.

Thanks,

He's saying get a new head unit that has the ipod controls built in. Some have a blue tooth feature as well. No adapters needed.

yes...theres a lag with my wireless keyboard and leaves out letters sometimes

 

[Expedition907]

is it single din or double din? since it has both cd and tape...probably double din right? to change out the stock one

 

[GAINMOB]

U can put either in for replacement...but the expedition came with DDiin factory head unit...I think there was an option for tape or not...I don't recall my factory unit having tape...just cd and radio
