Hi,

I have a tape adapter for my ipod, it works on my 528 series model with NO problems however when I try to use it on my 540i i get a tape error message? Any solutions to this issue???

When I insert the cassette, the tape deck reads it and tries to play but it doesnt play it displays a tape error message, cant the deck be damaged???

Well... stick a regular tape into the 540 player and find out. :D

Get one of those Wireless-transmitters or whatever you wanna call it (available at most stores). It plugs into your iPod, and wirielessly transmits to your headunit -- you just need to tune into 1 of the 3 frequencies it works on.

I think it's called an FM modulator. lol

How is the sound quality from an FM modulator?

it's great but it all depends where you live. if you live in an area with lots of radio station like NYC (where i am), you do get *some* (very minimium) interfearance. i have mine hot wired to the car and is located in the trunk right next to the FM antenna so i get virtually none.
the only problem with my setup is i need a better MP3 player then the window media that comes on ipaq's. i had one but i forgot what it was called.

FM madulators sucks imo! Sound quality is very poor!, just purchase one and returned it

which one did you get?

BTW: you are sure the tape player is in the right direction for the tape modulator?
