Cleaning and Demagnetizing my Toyota's Cassette Tape Deck

Cleaning and Demagnetizing my 1999 Toyota Camry's cassette tape deck.

[@bigdawg112]

It's 2019 now and I still 💛 cassette tapes

[@owl7339]

Big Dawg so do i

[@jacobg.witmer]

Big Dawg I use a Maxell Cassette to Auxiliary adapter to listen to music on my iPhone in my car!

[@Badassvidsz]

Me too , actually right now i'm listening Eric Marienthal from cassette while also watching this video :-)

[@jefferyclark2340]

I listen to pre-recorded cassettes, and i'm almost 14

[@acbikes]

It is 2020

[@fuzzybobbles]

I have a Toyota Celica GT-Four and the stereo broke 4 years ago. Not bothered having it fixed. The sound of the engine and the turbo spinning up are the best music to listen to while driving. :o)

[@alankozak288]

Great video! Sounds like a carwash when the tape heads were being cleaned.☺👍✌

[@VICNASTY1989]

It actually sounds like your player thinks you have a bad tape. Sometimes, when tapes sit for awhile (Even the newer ones) the tape within tightens-the player will recognize this problem and try to reverse sides- try fast forwarding and rewinding the tapes in another player before playing them in your car. You should clean your deck anyway- will give a better sound quality and protect your recordings. If this doesn't work, your player may need new belts. -Hope this helps-Thanks for watching

[@jacobg.witmer]

VICNASTY1989 My tape deck keeps knocking out the passenger side speaker when I use my cassette to aux adapter. Will cleaning my tape deck with one of these fix that?

[@GreenMan893x]

Right when I heard Human Beings being played on that cassette I automatically knew it was the Twister soundtrack haha

[@TheVCRKing]

R.I.P. Bill Paxton and Philip Seymour Hoffman (Bill and Dusty)

[@VICNASTY1989]

That sounds like the head needs to be cleaned, that can be done with a Q-tip and some isopropyl rubbing alcohol, or a store bought kit like the one in this video. -Should solve your problem -Hope that helps, -Thanks for watching!

[@vcia1074]

I liked that song you tested.

[@VICNASTY1989]

Nice! Very true-Cant beat the turbo whine! I used to love the sound of my '86 300ZX

[@VICNASTY1989]

@TheOJwithPULP Continued... There is a way of disassembling the stereo and replacing the spindle gear (but this is quite difficult and requires the use of rare OEM parts). Try putting your tape opposite to the side you want to listen to (and hit "PROG"- program to reverse the direction of play) this might stop your click. Another option is, these TOYOTA tape stereos are fairly inexpensive at junkyards, you might be able to find one that still works good. Thanks for watching!

[@Rams_hobby]

Thanks Golden days memory 🙏🎸

[@VICNASTY1989]

@thepaashaas "Humans Being"- Van Halen, even better- its the soundtrack to Twister (which is one of my favorite movies)- Thanks for watching!

[@herrwabbaloo937]

Ugh, late Sammy VH. Anyway, RIP EVH.

[@acbikes]

Hey

[@VICNASTY1989]

LOL! Maybe 1.000692286 more milliseconds . They were dry enough -Thanks for watching!

[@thepaashaas]

Van Halen ! dont forgot the title, but its one of the songs starred in Twister xD

[@VICNASTY1989]

@JSneaker Actually I have the upgraded CD/Cassette stereo to, its just the tape deck stopped working on that one and I like to listen to cassettes while I drive.

[@Emyvampgrl]

Question: My 99' Corolla's tape dock rejects cassettes. Would doing this help in any way? My cassette player always worked just fine and I would use a cassette adapter to plug in my iPod. I did this for more than a year. One day I pushed in the cassette and I heard this scary sounding clicking and the dock "spat out" the cassette. At first I thought maybe I needed a new cassette but nope, the dock rejects all cassettes. I've since just left the cassette player alone and have been stuck in radio hell. Any pointers and advise would be great. Thanks.

[@melissaaaa74]

hi did you ever try it? any luck? my 96 volvo keeps auto reversing the sides and I'm hoping this will fix it because its like my last hope. Ive tried removing the auto reverse feature from the cassette and i have bought new ones. I think a cleaning is what it needs. but did it fix your problem?

[@Emyvampgrl]

Nope. Didn't work. 😔

[@melissaaaa74]

damn that sucks

[@Chrisjonpage]

Emily Ruiz-Camacho have you found a solution yet? Sounds like I have the same problem, Ive been listening to the radio and i really cant stand Drake right now. Pls Halp!

[@SoloRider2point0]

+Melissa Chillington I've been having the same problem with the auto reversing. Did you find a solution?

[@TheHeretic1983]

Hello, was just wondering if you can answer a question of mine, i have a 1990 toyota corolla wagon and when i put a tape in it sounds very quiet and sound only comes out of one speaker, but when the regular radio is on the speakers sound great and i can hear everything fine. would this sort of thing help that?

[@owl7339]

TheHeretic1983 replace speakers Replace radio Aftermarket cassette radios are on sale on eBay

[@WUBBBBB]

hey hoping to get a quick response. I bought a 1999 corolla for a winter beater. And I bought a cassette aux cord adaptor because I hate radio music. When I put it in it makes really loud noises and I tried everything but yet it works on my moms 05 camry. Any suggestions???

[@rogerar90]

Ever had trouble with it actually taking in a tape , I have the 96 Corolla and it stopped taking my tapes .

[@babirhussain8361]

Where can I find one of these

[@TheJaHa5]

My dad's got this Toyota Corolla 1998, and he still got the cassette deck. The deck is powerful, but the problem is, when it is in reverse mode, it gives this annoying buzzing sound (the deck itself), and the sound you get from the speakers is very unpleasant!!

[@faceman2556]

Hell yeah brother Van Halen

[@bobbg9041]

Where's the 8 track fit?

[@insanemeddic]

i have a toyota carmy le 2000 and my cassette tap player is making a very loud buzz and i dont know what the problem is any ideas

[@matiasguerraph]

que grande el Banda Ciudadana ! un gran clasico ! CB Radio

[@GabrielMartinez-pe6ln]

Where can I now buy cassette tapes?

[@Vanni37]

So my question is. What will the problem with that? Should I clean it?

[@VICNASTY1989]

@TheOJwithPULP I know exactly what your talking about, I had the premium CD/ Cassette stereo in my Camry but I removed it because it passed beyond the clicking stage to just grinding and buzzing. So I put this cheap single cassette unit in. The problem is the tape is driven by spindles on plastic gears (due to heat, and extreme cold)- these weaken and loose teeth- causing a gap between the motor and the gear during turning resulting in a "Click"- CONTINUED.......

[@tapebysea]

Do you know what the cassette unit you bought is? I'm thinking I might need a replacement.

[@TheOJwithPULP]

Do you know why whenever I insert a cassette into my Celica, it makes a repetitive click noise and how would I fix this?

[@connerschoenfeld6328]

i have this same problem

[@owl7339]

I think it’s the belt

[@BeThrashed]

Is a dirty car cassette player the reason the tapes sound muddled?

[@zubirhusein]

+BeThrashed yes could be

[@ghost-4230]

My tapes would get stuck and I’d have to hope and pray they’d come out

[@kameronstout4847]

Joshua Vaughn mine keep getting stuck too

[@thecassetteguy4457]

can you provide the link of this product

[@KaneKorso]

Am having this problem just lately, I have a 96 Sable and all my tapes are starting to sounds muffled and low. I did have the car sit for a few months then started playing alot of tapes - could that cause it? Also where is best place to get this tape cleaner/demagnitizer?

[@alankozak288]

You can find them on eBay!👍☺

[@Vanni37]

Hi. I have a problem with my tape deck. The sound works fine but there is a arrow that goes up and down and the song would skip. Then the tape will reject itz self.

[@rajeshbakshi3018]

IF (if) you are talking about arrows in different directions it means your deck is trying to play in both directions but unable to pull the tape in any direction. This could be due to a few things : 1 Belt loose (most likely). 2. gears and wheels jammed or cassette is jammed/old. 3. Weak motor (least likely as the motor is trying to spin in both directions. If the arrows change with mechanical sounds it means the tape is trying pull the cassette in one direction but cannot so it follows the protocol it does for auto reverse. Then in the same way it happens again for the other side so after limited "tries" it like "I tried and tried but could not succeed" so it ejects. You will have to service the equipment to fix this.

[@KJakaDaBEAST]

Where did you find the head cleaner? I am looking for one.

[@omarcookiedough]

What brand of cassette did you use ?

[@Kanika97x]

How often should you clean your car cassette

[@TheVCRKing]

2:32 Twister anyone?

[@fishpezz]

was it working before you clean it?

[@GabrielMartinez-pe6ln]

Can it work with a cd/cassette player?

[@kaligula785]

thanks for the info my toyota camry is doing the exact same thing i think i just get a cd player that has a ipod dock cuz thats what i was using the tape deck for any ways thanks again
