I want to have the ability to play my iTunes Music in my Lexus LS400 1997 without making any visible changes to the car. In other words I want to keep all the original equipment.
I have tried using adapters that connect my iPhone 6 to the cassette player, but the sound quality was terrible. The electronics stores just want to sell me a new audio system, but I want to leave the original equipment, sound system, & interior.
Is there a way to connect my iPhone 6 to my sound system via an adapter or BlueTooth?
thank you

Yeah, bluetooth is the way to go if you don't want any changes. This is the gizmo I use:

Member Kansas has several related threads about a company that does this conversion.

I'm surprised you say the quality from the cassette adapter was terrible. I've been using a $10 Philips tape adapter since 2007 with my iPod Classic and the sound is fantastic (and I consider myself an audiophile). I've tried various FM transmitters and they were all below FM quality as far as audio was concerned.

Thank you
Since it goes into the Cassette Player I hope it still has the sound quality I've become accustomed to w/ this car.
When I used the Cassette Player adapter w/ the wire the sound quality was terrible.
For right now I'm trying to find a local brick & mortar source to allow for an easy return if needed.

Thank you,
This sounds interesting. It sounds like this method will insure the continued sound quality. I'm not in the mood to tackle taking the radio out of the car, so I hope I can go local.

Mine doesn't use the cassette slot. That was some other guy. He seemed to like it though.

I never tried a "Philips". I'll try to find one.

My apologies.

WoW! This option is worth checking out.
thanks

Over my head, but if I can find a guy to set up I can compare the costs.

My cassette adapter from phone sounded like crap until I adjusted the volume from the phone first, turn the phone volume to something like 50% then turn up the app

That's the key...turn down the phone and turn up the car's volume ****.

Most likely it doesn't matter, but which brand of cassette adapter did you use?
