Before installing this cassette adaptor in the car, check whether it can be fitted into your car audio unit.
The cassette adaptor cannot be used with some car audio system.
The cassette adaptor is shown in the illustrations of the car audio adaptor.

Concerning the Car Audio System

Position the cassette adaptor with side A facing up and set the play direction for the car audio system to the forward (FWD) direction.
The head positions of the cassette adaptor and the car audio system do not match in the reverse direction, causing the sound volume from the speakers to be extremely low.
If the position of the cord coming out of the cassette adapter is adjusted using the groove provided on the
back of the cassette, it will work with almost all car audio systems:
