omfg if it does pass thru power i’ll lose my mind. my car has a “modern” cassette player with a hole in the door for one of those 3.5mm to cassette converters, i could make this WORK
I have one of these, not sure if its the exact model but i can confirm. Comes with a battery.
Can also confirm (to my annoyance) that you cannot have it charging and play music at the same time. So don’t bother buying a slim angled micro usb cable like I did…
It’s not too shabby, never really counted it but I believe it lasts for about 6h at least on a full charge? I usually only drive for around an hour max though so it’s more of a guesstimate
It’d drain the batteries quickly. Wifi uses a relatively large amount of power, and low-power wifi variants like HaLow aren’t widespread yet. Bluetooth has a low energy mode for low-power devices that works well for this use case. I guess it could have a power cord, but then why use wifi when it could just plug into the phone instead?

That’s fucking dope.

Pretty sure they have a little battery.

They missed an opportunity to use the spinning gear to generate its own power.
That’s what I’m thinking too! The housing is probably too small to house it all but man it would be cool
Does it work alright though? How long do you usually expect it to last on any given day?

That’s very doable. Thank you
What is this black magic?!
Why is there no wifi cassette adapter? That would be so cool.
