Question
hi

i have a 1999 Ford Taurus and the casset player is basically broke, wondering where i could find out how to repare, or if its possible to order, or purchase a new one. not sure if the casset player is part of the whole audio system, i have a ipod and the tape just kept getting spit out, Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didnt. I tried air cleaner and kept trying to get it to work, it got jamed and now it wont even allow me to enter the tape. if u could help, that'd be great, thanks.  

Answer
the ford radio was made to play tapes only and original tapes they are 22 minutes per side  ford will void your warranty  if you use the 90 or 120 minutes tape  
all that for a reason  did you know that you can plug the ipod to the amplifier that is in the trunk and it will sound 10 times better  read about this 2 products
