Hi, as stated in the title, i have a 94 Grand Prix SE edition. Recently i bought a tape adapter so i can plug in different electronic devices like a CD or MP3 player and listen to them on my tape deck. The problem is that my car has auto-reverse enabled on the tape deck. So, im guessing whenever it feels a tape has ended (the tape stops moving) it tries to switch the sides, and after doing it twice, it spits out the tape. So i can hardly listen to anything.

The question is: is there any way to turn off the auto reverse feature on my tape deck, since i know it can be done (and is usually listed in the owners manual) in most cars. I have the standard stereo system by Delco that came with the car.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Factory auto reverse cassette decks sense when one roller has no tension on it. When this is detected, the tape deck shuts off to prevent a broken tape from getting pulled in and making a mess. Most cassette adaptors for cd players etc, only have one roller, the other side is just a hole. To get your accessory to work in your factory stereo, you will need to get an adaptor that has two rollers in it that will keep tension like a tape.
