If your vehicle has this feature it is located in the center
console extension.

up to 30 to 45 minutes long on each side. Tapes longer

this player.

EJECT on the remote player. Then, insert the cassette
tape. The tape will play if the ignition is on but the radio
is off.Once the tape is playing, use the control knobs for
VOL, AUTO TONE, BAL, FADE, BASS and TREB
just as you do for the radio. A lighted tape symbol
shows when a cassette tape is in the player. A lighted
arrow will also appear and show the direction of play
when a tape is active.
The player automatically senses if the cassette tape is
metal or CrO
2 and adjusts for best playback sound.
Anytime a cassette tape is inserted, the top side is
selected for play first.
