Default Tape Auto-eject

Hey Guys,
Does anyone know if it is possible to disable the tape auto-eject feature on the X-Type stereo? I play my iPod through a cassette adaptor and every time I shut the engin off, I have to push the tape back in. It gets to be a pain when I'm running errands and have to keep parking. Thanks

2002 X-Type 3.0L, 4 speaker OEM stereo with cd changer.

I had the same problem initially. I found out that the tape player will spit out the tape adapter if the IPOD is notin the process of playinga song at the time you put it in, and it seems to like one side of the adapter better than the other. Flip the adapter over and try again, and press play on the IPOD before you stick it in. Mine works fine now, and actually it sounds really good (IPOD shuffle).

My cassette adapter sits there and tries to get auto-reversed by the stereo, which thinks it is a regular tape. If it would stop auto-reversing the thing just might work. Anyone else experience this?

Have you tried flipping the cassette adapter over and making sure that you have your device already in "play" before you insert the cassette? Mine was doing what you describe and that was the fix.
