In my setup, you never convert the music into another format like the tape adapter does. I find the bass and overall quality is pretty bad with the adapter.
LexusFTW, I think I have some detailed pics on my laptop i will have to find.
most of it is pictured in the thread though. I actually have my unit if you want it, I took it out for the nav unit but it worked pretty well.
to keep the tape from flipping over, you take an ordinary tape and mod it.
you open it up, take all the tape off the reels, cut a small section of it and tape it in place and tape it at the bottom, where it is read by the head.
the tape deck will turn the 2 round things, but they will spin forever since the tape isnt attatched to it anymore, and it will never flip over!
for the soldering, basically once capacitor is the left channel and one is the right channel, so you solder a wire to each one of those and run it out the back of the case. you will also need a ground which you can just put a wire to a screw in the side of the case. you connect all those 3 to a jack connector so you can plug in whatever you want. you can hide it or even flush mount it somewhere.
and leave the capacitors in, they are necessary for conditioning the signal.
