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.
