How to Fix Constantly Ejecting Cassette Adapter | Any Adapter [Read Description]

Is your cassette adapter constantly ejecting? Does it stop playing your music constantly? This video will show you how to quickly fix that issue. Don't waste your time rubbing the rubber ring like a lot of videos on KZbin show you to do, because that doesn't always work [I know this from personal experience]. This method is guaranteed to work for you the first time.
Using this method if you don't like the sound the gears make when they turn, just take out all of the gears.
I hope I helped some of you guys out.
Don't forget to drop a like, comment if you have any questions, and subscribe.
Thanks for watching.
*Edit: It has been reported by several users that taking out all the gears from the tape will cause it to not work.
** Sorry for the interlaced lines that appear if you watch the video in small player mode. If watched in fullscreeen lines do not appear.

This worked very well. Its amazing how simple these devices are. I did try to take out all the gears and it worked but my tape deck had trouble ejecting it. I fear it might get stuck so i put the gears back in. I actually found removing the rubber gear made it quieter. I just turn up the music anyway so i cant hear the noise.

Great video just bought a car without a cd or aux and bought the cassette adapter and it kept ejecting. Searched and found this video; took that piece out and it works perfect. Thanks!!!

[@grundyunderhill]

Thank you for this! Two comments: (1) Taking out the gear which trips auto-reverse works like a charm! Why didn't I think of that? Muchos gracias! (2) Mileage may vary w/ regard to taking out other gears -- when I try that step, my player goes back to auto ejecting. Not sure why it does that, but I hope the heads-up is helpful to someone.

[@noahnewport1371]

Me at auto zone in my car sad cus it worked at first but since he said u could stop the noise I went and took all the gears out trusted this man to the fullest and threw the gears n the garbage inside😭

[@ZMacGregor]

I tried taking all the gears out and no dice, after seeing this I'll try it with the gears back in except for the auto reverse

I took that part out and the same deal happened, except this time it came with a really annoying sound.

[@jrgates54]

Thanks, this is the hook up. Mine ejected at least a dozen times before it stayed in. Now I'm scared to eject it. With your fix I will eject it and take care of this problem. You the man. Thank you, Chris. 🙂

[@GuitarAudiologist]

Some cassette players will auto-stop the tape if both reels don't move together. I haven't tested that in various cars, but I know I have an old boombox that will. Just a heads up for people looking to remove all gears.

*SOLUTION IF TAKING OUT GEAR DOESNT WORK* 1. Take the gear out 2. Cut a hole on the other side of where the aux comes out (I used a utility knife) 3. Feed aux through cut out side and reassemble This allows you put the cassette in on the opposite side. This worked for me

I just snipped off the rubber O ring on the that gear with a pair of tweezers and sizzors . I tried removing the gear all together but it still would just do auto reverse so I had to reinstall the gear without the O ring. that got it.

[@gabeulrickson2496]

so if you have one of these and you pull all gears out except the main gears in the center holes? It will work?

[@VCreations1]

Thanks so much! I was just now getting ready to purchase another one of these and I decided to try fix it myself. I have a Sony cpa-7 adapter and it kept stopping and starting back up. I watched a few KZbin videos and I just tried this and it worked. Mine did not work without the gears. I just removed the bottom piece as you indicated. Mine has no screws in it at all. I had to carefully pry it open with a small screwdriver. I wasn't sure if it would snap back together when I was finished, but it did. KZbin is great! Thanks!

[@michellestallard2863]

I can confirm this absolutely works!! I have a 2000 Buick Lesabre and every time I would put the cassette aux adapter in it would say “clean” and spit it back out. So I bought a cassette cleaning kit and that did nothing. I tried this and now it works! 😁 soooo happy I can listen to my music now 🙌🏻

Thanks for this video, dude! I got tired of burning mix CDs every few weeks and I want to listen to music from my MP3 player. I have the Monster one and the music sounds crystal clear when it works. My car keep reversing the cassette and won't play the music continuously. I also have one from RCA which works fine, but the music sounds dull and muddy for some reason, so I want to make the Monster one work. I've been watching videos on how to fix this problem, but the first guy gave the whole history of cassettes and CDs before getting to the meat of the video and didn't really seem to know what he was talking about. The next guy wasn't knowing how to speaking the English. Then I found your video! So thanks again!!!

[@jonathant.powell7281]

Thanks for this video. My cassette adapter was recently stolen from my car and I had to do the fix on it before it would work in my (aging) stereo. But that was along time ago and I was just making sure that I did it right on the replacement cassette adapter as you superbly described in this video. Plus, I know now that I can just go ahead and empty the rest of the guts because sometimes the noise of the cogs/gears can be annoying while listening to music on long drives. Thanks again!

[@matthewronson5218]

along time ago

[@SNR715]

No need to neither open the cassette or remove any gears nor clean out the inner rubber gear. Just use aluminum foil and fill in the notches, or better yet, use scotch tape and block the two opened notches on the cassette’s outer part, opposite sides of its magnetic opening. (Left and right outer sides) block them out.

[@cityoftrees9953]

Nelson Rodriguez this actually worked. I taped all sides because I didn't know what you meant. But left the magnetic part open.

[@NoriaMarieBeauTeyMafia]

How the hell you get it working at least. Ok so I have 3 audio cassette adapter..I disassembled one ..the other 2 I left alone cuz one of them are brand new.. but mine keeps saying reelerror one new cassette or metal error on the one disassembled.. help

[@savannahsykes3754]

BeauTeyMafia Designs The only problem with mine was that when I would first put the cassette and I don’t know if your car has this or not but I have like these arrows on the screen of my stereo and it would point up and then down and then up and then down and then eject within five seconds but now it just points up then down and stays at down it doesn’t play any bass for some reason and it only plays music on the right side of my car

[@decodenumbers6137]

I finally figured it out on mine. one of the gears on the part with the rubber thing wasn't loose enough so when the other gear would try to spin it the whole thing would move and hit a plastic part on the inside causing all the gears to get stuck. i fixed it by melting the black plastic onto the white plastic to stop the whole thing from moving and now its only the gear that moves instead of everything that the gear was on. now it works perfect.
