I have a 2000 Century Buick. I've tried to use a cassette adapter, but it doesn't work since it has auto reverse. FM transmitters don't seem to work well either since there are few free stations where I live (Cleveland). Are there any inexpensive solutions like adding an auxiliary jack to the stock stereo system? Any advice would be appreciated.
Got a tip for us?

I'm from the UK, so Buicks arefew and far between. But as far as cars go, often the factory fitted stereos have the option to add a CD changer. You can buy a CD changer > Aux input adapter for some models. It may be worth looking down that route.
I've used these with auto-reverse players, you just need to ensure that there is no undue resistance in the wheels in the adaptor or the player will think it's the end of a tape and continually switch forward/reverse. I had to remove a smal spring in one to get smooth operation, or try a new adaptor, they are cheap and surprisingly good at passing the audio through your car's radio/casette. Much better than the FM transmitters.
