Default MP3 on the GS?

I've got an Aristo Mk.2 / GS Mk.2

Using a Sony cassette adapter - it click click clicks as you play the tape. Got a Lexus RX300 and it makes no clicks. Tried the tape adapter on another Aristo, still click click click.

So any ideas on MP3 adapters? Saw one kit but it was expensive.

Does DICE work for the Lexus' ...? Or you can do that DIY "fuse block" & run it off the CD changer line?

Default Get the Phillips adapter at Walmart - $10 bucks and you can keep returning them....

...until you get a quiet one. The clicking sound is a combo of the cassette adapter and the player - you just need the right combo.

Default Even better, but the Vaistech adapter. I just got mine and have yet to install it...

....to be honest, but I should get a chance this coming weekend.

I like the design and the guys I've dealt with at Vaistech.

try searching. vaistech won't work. The only ones I found that might work is Soundgate and Dension. I made my own following the excellent write up one of our CL members wrote.
