Does your wire show? I am thinking about routing it down the console. I have used this adapters with great success in the past back in the day in my mercedes.

Here are some pics. The wire shows a just little bit for about 1 inch but it is really not obvious. I keep the cover most of the time anyway. I could have made the wire not show at all and come from inside the tape deck but when I did this few years ago I wanted to make sure I could remove the tape adapter easily for cleaning the tape player heads for time to time. It turned out that it has worked flawlessly for several years now and I never had to take the tape adapter out. I remember having tried a couple of these tape adapters before finding one that did not make noise though.

Holy old thread revival batman! Haha just realized that from reading your last post.

BTW that's a nice clean setup when the cover for the tape unit is closed.

1. Can you recogmend an adapter?
2. Can you elaborate on how you got the wiring into the center console? Another user asked about drilling.

Thanks.
