Worked for a few months, broke, then I modified it to work.
As others have previously written, sometimes this has a problem with auto-reverse. I did not encounter that the first few months I've been using it. Suddenly it acted up just the way as others have explained. I have a 2002 Accord EX.

I did what J. Christofferson did in his review. Works well now, albeit, only on one side. The other side just hums. YMMV. There's also the noise of the gears but it gets drowned out when the music is on and the car is moving.

To sum up what others have stated, I did this:

1) remove 6 screws from the one side and arrange them so you can put them in again. It might not look like it but two of the screws are smaller.
2) flip it over and take out the 2 screws near the top.
3) slowly take off half of casing. I used the screwdriver that i used for the screws to help with this.
4) On the upper left side is a white plastic housing that pulls out. Pull it out and remove the gear that is screwed on.
5) Place the housing back and test the gears if they rotate properly.
6) Close it up, two screws back, flip it over, 6 screws back on and test it out in your car.

Hope that helps someone. Worked for me.

Use what works
Bought an $80 and then a $60 FM tuner for my car. Both worked horribly. Decided to try one of these, and it worked very well. Best of all, no need to worry about finding an open station in a city where it seems that every channel is occupied. No scratchy noises, no weak signals, and oh yeah, it's only $14. Throw in a car charger for the ipod and the grand total came to $20.

Did the flip sides thing
It would immediately flip to Side B from the first try. In the garbage.

I received unit as expected. Prompt delivery and unit works as expected. Will buy other items from this supplier.

VERY Disappointing!
I was very encouraged when I read so many glowing reports, especially regarding older vehicles. However, this product DOES NOT work well in my vehicle, a 1999 Jeep Cherokee with the factory-installed stereo system still intact. I'm not sure why, but I have a suspicion that it has something to do with the fact that my tape player does not have an actual play button - it begins playing the tape as soon as it is inserted. I tried switching between radio/cd/tape and then engaging the adapter and iPod, but that did not help. When engaged, the volume is so low that you cannot hear it while driving. I could go on - but .... You really do get what you pay for. And I was so looking forward to listening to my iPod while driving.
