Hook it all up. Sure, you can just plug tape adapter into phone as well, but I don't like to have too keep messing with cables and have my phone ring through the speakers like it is a headset. I mount my phone using air vent adapter anyway, so it is not like the dash and radio area is cable free.
Works great and actually sounds good - I am not audiophile either, but it does sound better than FM Radio.

Thanks, I'll take a look.I always used a small flathead screwdriver - don't ever remember what was the proper bit.
What a recipe for a cluster%^&*...
Working cassette adapters for LR head unit are few and far between. They only work as long as the head unit likes them - which it may decide against.
USB-powered BT receivers - depending on which one you get, you'll have to fish it from the crevices of your truck to pair with your phone/player; I had three, all of them lost pairing and had to be physically accessed to pair again.
How is that concoction saves one from a mess of tangled wires - escapes me.
Good luck, those cassette players are fragile.
I've got a BT with AVRCP prototype design, but my pc board fab shop is taking a lot longer this time around

Nah, I just picked pricey transformers for ground isolation - found that's the only way to deal with ham radio output. Not all inputs need them - just those with the other ground connection to the vehicle (which includes phone with a battery charger running).
I don't doubt your engineering - just want more of it!
BTW... You really don't need reed relays anymore.

So itll have aux in with player controls like the old version, microphone through the aux for voice commands and dialing and stuff, along with all of that through bluetooth. Going to throw in a circuit that auto detects ctia vs omtp so it'll be android and ios freindly since I'm not sure how that standards battle will end since CTIA was winning before Apple gave up on the 3.5mm jack. And a ton of circuitry to keep ground loops away
