Celica Forums General Discussion General Has anyone...

used their tape deck that come with the stock Stero CD player?

I havent used it once since I bought the car for all I know it might not work.

used once 4 months ago, just want to see how it works. bearing mind i haven't used a tape deck since 1997...

I use mine about once a year just to make sure that it still works. It's kind of hard to find a tape though.

it comes with a tape deck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you have to figure that my wife bought the car for me while i was deployed for 6 months, i wanted to get it when i came home, but it was already waiting for me, with the system and some other stuff, so i dont know what the stock came with!!!

i haven't used it YET (had the car for three days, though), but i will because my MD Walkman has an adapter that plays through the cars sound system through the tape deck http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00005T39Y.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

I have had my car for 2 years (August 14th was its birthday) and never once used the tape deck. When I was looking at the car I made sure the CD player worked though...tape I could care less. Might have critters living in there for all I know.

NO...lol...

Sometimes I open the little cover with my finger and look inside...

Other than that... Nope.

I have used the tape deck a few times, took a cool tape from my dad that we don't have on CD works great.

actually its a good tape deck. Has scan and seek, and will skip songs, you know click it 3 times and it will skip 3 songs. Sound quality decent too. Of course the CD gets lots more use, but I'm older than most of you and I have about 900 cassettes, and only 300 cds, but I'm building it up!

what's a tape deck

Yah, I had a few hundred. I dumped them in bags & sold them to the pawn shop for a $1 each before tapes disapeared forever. Funny thing is that I own less than 10 CD's. Ever since I bought my burner way back when, I never bought another CD.

I remember when CD's were first coming out. Cassettes were about $12 each. The CD's were supposed to last forever & they were supposed to be cheaper. THEY ARE LIARS!

nope, havent used it since i got my car

who the hell puts a tape deck in todays cars, wtf

remember, toyota's consumers are mostly older folks, like 50+. and yeah, they still have tons of tapes around...

I prefer 8 track (is that how its worded? lol)

you must like disco...

hehehe, well i never really used it, cause i put in a clarion touch screen dvd player into my dash and never worried about the stock cd and tape before... but i think its really cool just to get a deck like that to come with the car. hehe lol!

Hi Susan

i wonder if we could do a custom conversion putting in an 8track player

i ususally just lift up the door of the tape deck to clean off the dust... heck tape deck rarely used

ha ha..never udes it for the two weeks it was in my car, but even if it was still stock..finding a tape is like finding a celica w/ a supernintendo hooked up to it.

old people... though the new bmw, has a hook up for ipods... so that the stero can control the ipod and everything...

instead of cassett decks, they should just put an audio in on the front, so i can hook up my mini disk or mp3 player to it... though i just burn cd's and put them in my 10 changer now... the stock stero crapped out on me in october

used it twice in the time i've had my car.

I'm a little older and much wiser, so I have listened to tapes on the Celica tape deck more times than I can count. I own certain tapes that I will never find anywhere. I have looked to find a more friendly/better media type that includes the songs on my tapes and export CD's and the like. I have found nobody in the world that either has my stuff or is willing to share it. So I listen to those tapes in my Celica when I'm in the "mood". Other than that, I'll pass over the "old string and a can" for a "cellular phone" any day.

haha I have never used it.

They shouldn't even put a tape player in there.

nope, i even forgot i had one in there

i used mine for the first time yesterday...and i've had my car for like 6 months already:-D
