I've worn out one of the cassettes using it a lot to play tunes in the Jetta, I have replaced it with a new one and it's working great (perhaps the player heads are more robust than the cassettes?). In the Vanagon, I have an iPod, USB and min-jack as inputs on the stereo... all are more reliable and fewer moving parts. The one thing that keeps failing is the remote control... means I have to get up to turn off the stereo at night. Life is sooo complicated :) regards, Peter Kraiker turbowesty@gmail.com kraikerphoto.com / studiofstop.com '82 Westfalia 1.9TD 5spd '05 Jetta Wagon 1.9TDI 5spd
