my '97 manual says this.....I never could get mine to work though....but my adapter was 10 years old.....

CD Adapter Kits

It is possible to use a CD adapter kit with your cassette tape player after activating the bypass feature on your tape player.

To Activate the bypass feature,the ignition must be on.Turn your radio OFF.Press TAPE/PLAY and hold for 3 seconds.After 3 seconds,the tape symbol in the display will flash for 2 seconds indicating the feature is active.Turn the radio on and insert the adapter.

This override feature will remain active until EJECT is pressed.


dunno if this will work for ya...but I found it in my manual awhile back: )

it worked fine in my 94 until i finally got my hands on a stock cd player and all is good after that!!

same prob. in the buick...i had to try several adapters before one would work. strangely enough, it would keep ejecting the tape until the deck warmed up. best bet is to do what someone already mentioned, go buy an fm transmitter that plugs into your cd player. works like a charm
