How much does it cost to get a tape deck installed on mazda6?

Question

2007 mazda 6

No, im not still listening to tapes. I want to get the tape deck installed on the car so i can use the tape adapter and listen to my mp3 player in my car. I dont want to buy an Fm transmitter, they usualy have poor reception, and i dont want to get an auxillery audio system installed, too expensive

Answer 1

Most stereo shops are going to charge between 50-65 to install a receiver of any sort that you didn't buy from them. So why not just go down to Best Buy and spend a lil more money and buy a Kenwood CD player that has a USB port for $128.00 and they will install it for free. You can then play your MP3 player through the USB port and have far superior sound over what you will get with a cassette tape adapter. The Kenwood CD player also will play numerous CD formats and sounds great.

Answer 2

Why do you want a tape deck? If you still listen to tapes then that's a different story. It shouldn't cost more than $100 to install any head unit in the car but if you're getting the tape player so that you can play your ipod with a tape adapter I think you should get a unit that has an mp3 jack so that you can just plug in a stereo wire that you can get from Radio Shack.

Answer 3

There is a simple solution to this matter: Purchase a car cd player with a 1/8" auxiliary input and run a 1/8" stereo cord from the headphone jack on your Ipod to the Aux Input jack.

Plus, if you really wanted to play cassette tapes, replace the ipod/mp3 player with an old walkman that you can get on Ebay for $10

A decent stereo will run you about $100-120. In you shop around, you can usually find free installation with purchase.

Answer 4

2007 Mazda6 audio is modular system. You can add a tape player into the system. The player will be on the bottom half of the unit. The total cost for parts is around US$230 MSRP.
Tape player module P/N GJ6A-79-ADX
New trim panel P/N GR9R-79-BCX (required for tape player installation).
If you have Ipod, you can buy IPOD Intergration module around $150 P/N C236-79-CFZ.
Installation is fairly easy.

omg you can get the factory radio with cd for a few bucks on ebay and is plug and play and not mood at all for instalation

and get a tape deck..... in western auto sold some radios with cassette for 50 bucks but you will need the installation kit and harness or cut the whole cables to make it sound

Answer 6

What is a tape deck!!!!!seriously if you still have tapes they are on the verge extinction i would suggest getting them copied to CD and donating the tapes to the Smithsonian ......alot of your big electronics stores ie;best buy, abc ware house, circut city usually offer free instalation with the purchase of a new deck

Answer 7

Check e-bay for a CD player - It's possible that a CD player was an option that year. If there is one, the wiring for it is already in the dash, just have to swap the units. Also, see if maybe a remote CD changer was available. If so, then all the wiring is there, just tucked out of the way. I have a six disk CD changer in the trunk of my Grand Marquis, but a cassette player in the dash unit.

Answer 8

Well, there is an add-on module that you can try to add an aux-input to the factory system to connect your mp3 player. See link:
