DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE i CAN FIND a CD ADAPTOR FOR MY 1986 AM/FM/CASSETTE DECK?

[satx78247]

Friends,

I'm trying to keep my 1986 F250 Lariat as near factory stock as I can BUT I would also like to play my numerous CDs in the truck. - Evidently NOBODY now makes a new CD Adaptor to fit a cassette stereo.

IF anyone knows where I can buy a "new old stock" or gently used CD adaptor for the AM/FM/Cassette deck, I would like to know who that is. - Please PM me with the information.

yours, satx

not the best of reviews but as you can see,they have a lot to chose from.this is what your looking for right?

FORDF250HDXLT,

Actually that's PART of what I'm looking for - The other (and evidently NO longer produced) part was a "buffered" against noise/vibration/"bumps" 12V CD player that plugs into that adaptor.
(That cheap item, absent the CD player, is useless.)

THANKS for your input.

yours, satx

Another option is an FM MP3 player.

http://www.amazon.com/FM-Transmitters-MP3-Player-Accessories/b?ie=UTF8&node=13981621

It just forwards all the audio onto a random unused FM channel so the radio can just do it's job with no mods.

Just rip all the CDs into MP3 and use your phone. There's free software all over the internet to do this. This pretty much gives you a life-time warranty on the CDs since you can keep them at home in a case on the bookshelf. And you don't have to worry about the anti-skip on that $20 cd player.

FM transmitter is susceptible to interference. An FM modulator like this - http://www.amazon.com/Scosche-Audio-FM-Modulator-Universal/dp/B0007THIDQ - is not. I use one like this with an old GPS has MP3 capability. Before the advent of MP3, I tried a slew of different CD players, holders, etc. that claimed to handle the road shock. None of 'em did so very well.

I had one of these for years:

hell, it's probably in a box somewhere in the shed, that thing was awesome, used it nonstop from probably '97-'03 when I got my first MP3 player, it was a biggin' at 128mb

jwalterus,

THANKS. - Btw, the item that you linked to has been deleted but a similar item has been substituted for it that looks/complete & OK.
(The "substituted item" is a store display unit but evidently unused.)

I would go with the cassette adapter. They have surprisingly good sound quality, better than a FM modulator setup.

franklin2,

THANKS for the advice.

Actually lmc has some nice options. Keeps it looking stock, but have a cd changer under the seat.

You can get a bluetooth cassette adapter too, link to your phone or mp3 player and there'd be no interference like with FM. That being said i us FM sirus radio transmitters in a couple vehicles and the only interference i get is in cities like balitmore and philadelphia

We have a cassette adapter in one PSD and an FM modulator in the other (one channel is out on the cassette player on that truck). Sound is just about the same. Again, there's a world of difference between an FM modulator and an FM transmitter.
