First off, before I get into it, I DO NOT mean simply buying a $5 Tape Deck Adapter to run the audio through.

I was just thinking of all the people doing all this research into Tapping XM and some people still having issues where the XM volume ends up at 50% or if not the XM then whatever line in you are adding does.

Why not pop the radio out and hack the Tape deck to add a line in somewhere AFTER the read heads. Basically find a line level output and just splice into it. If you never play tapes (I havent used a Casette tape for anything except tapping a phone line in at least 5 years) then it wouldnt be a loss of any functionality. You also then have a button right there on the dash to switch to this input whenever you like. No remotes or custom switches.

I could have sworn I saw someone selling an entire TL Radio system. Was it eBay? I'm wondering where it landed, to see if someone may have a tape deck to break open.

Brain Fart over, i'm going home now.

 

Yeah I saw it for sale too. I even placed a bid on it since it was like 10 bucks until the end.
