I recall on some GM cars, you pushed a button combination till something blinked - is it possible here?

I physically altered the eject button so it can't reach the button.
the cassette adapter has to be in place for the 3.5 aux input to work, even though I bypassed the tape head.

Not sure if this works for classic, but in the 2G, you can turn off the radio with the adapter in place, then push and hold the tape input button. It will beep and say "READY" on the display. After that, it doesn't eject the adapter and say "TIGHT TAPE" or "BROKEN TAPE" anymore.

Try a different cassette adapter. Some work better than others.

I hear you. Moving up to the Impala from the mid-'90s cars I've been driving since, well, the late '90s, I feel like I'm in some sort of sci-fi car, but then my girlfriend came and picked me up this evening in a Ford Edge she has as a rental while her Kia is being fixed. That thing looks like it was designed by Starfleet Command. Try a different cassette adapter. Some work better than others.

OK gang. So I got the cassette adapter and wanted to play my iPhone through the existing deck in my 1998 Base without Bose radio. Even did the cassette adapter-ectomy (removed the little rubber wheel. Stuck the tape in and it kicked it right back out. Kept getting an E10 error message. Then I read above about putting in the cassette with the radio turned off, no joy. Tried holding the cassette button down while putting in the adapter and for about 10 minutes it worked like a charm! Great sound from the factory radio and I thought "I can live with this". Then the dreaded E10 message and out popped the cassette adapter.
So, I'd rather not do the whole FM modulator route as they don't sound the best and can get static-y. Are there some cassette adapters that work better in the 1998 Auroras? You guys have been amazing so far in helping us out. I need to post soon about all the LED mods I've done--made the interior so nice and bright!

I had a Sony cassette adapter that was giving me trouble like that. Switched to a cheapo Trisonic and it works like a charm.
Still highly recommend soldering the wires directly into the radio where the cassette player feeds its audio... much cleaner signal.
FM modulators are the worst, especially if travelling. Keeps getting overridden by local stations and I'd have to change frequencies every hour or so.

Hoping to find one that works as it will save me a ton of time and money not having to upgrade to a new radio. |

So, the issue has been solved by using an RCA branded cassette adapter. Works like a charm and my iPhone sounds pretty good for playing on a non-Bose stock radio!
