How to use the Tape/Cassette player
Does anyone know how to use the Tape/Cassette player ?
Ive looked online and i have not seen how.
I know where is it located but my on RX8 there is a cover over. (I know everyone else's does)
But i don't know how to open that I've tried from the bottom but it doest clip open or open much.
I Don't even use tapes or cassettes either its just i want to know how to haha. Please someone put me out of misery. Is there a switch or a trick to it i don't know

Re: How to use the Tape/Cassette player
I'd be very surprised if you have the cassette player in there - GreySilver Beast had the last one available in the UK from Mazda put into his first RX-8, I don't think I have seen any others with one.

Re: How to use the Tape/Cassette player
if it has a black plate, then there is nothing behind it, all the head units have a Tape/aux button

Re: How to use the Tape/Cassette player
Yep its just a blank plate as the option was never fitted to the car. If you had the tape deck/ mini disc it would be visible.

Re: How to use the Tape/Cassette player
The MD is bonifidie Awesomeness!
The Tech just "fits" with the RX Both are just the right time the end of a technological era! all the music is from the late 90s and early to mid 2000s on minidisc and the tech whilst flawed is vastly superior to the available alternative like a rotary!
You can play MDLP through it with a noticable quality loss but on the other end of the spectrum it can handle MDHQ which when recorded at the appropriate end of the spectrum is just phenomenal the Bose system truly shines
My only criticism of the system is the look once installed makes the dash look very fussy.
Also its a complete PITA to fit as you have to TOTALLY strip the headunit removing the front fascia and everything even someone like myself who can strip out a headunit in about 5 minutes Had to spend a good hour stripping and rebuilding the unit itself as it pretty much has to be stripped to component level to fit the MiniDisc unit.

Re: How to use the Tape/Cassette player
I know it took Godfreys almost the whole day to fit my Tape Deck to the GreySilver Beast & there Electronics Tech Guy was cursing it left right & centre when trying to fit it
Although it was a fantastic bit of Kit once fitted & meant I could play my selection of Tapes ,that I still have now but nowhere to play them
