Cassette CD adapter clicks XM radio

[Moncha]

Is the click a mechanical one, or an electronic one? I use an adapter in my VX's system to tie my laptop in to it and get a slight hummmm but, but no clicks.
If I use the adapter in my patrol vehicles stereo, I hear a click but it a mechanical one, coming from the player itself. The adapter is kind of a cheezy solution to tie in and the quality has never been very good IMHO...

If the click was there BEFORE using the adapter, then it isn't the adapter... time for cassette service or a new headunit, maybe one that is XM ready?

click is mechanical...was click there previously? dunno, I never played a tape since purchase of VX 1 year ago. When I try it now with a normal music cassette, it clicks. Maybe a new head unit will be in my near future.

Just a thought, have you run a tape cleaner through it?

Both my VX's did this with two different cassette adapters. I just switched to head units with auxiliary inputs, but if you don't want to do that look into an inline FM modulator as they work pretty good.

no cleaner yet...will try.

Make sure you select dolby option.. it took the humming noise away... also mine clicks once, which must be deciding how to play, then it works. I use the roady fm modulator now, but I still use my tape adapter for my mp3 discman...
