I can see the use if you're for example driving an older car with mostly original kit and don't want an anachronistic stereo in it. So you pair up your fake cassette to your modern phone and can still play Spotify or w/e with the original kit.

There's even an 8-Track version of it.

    Also buying a whole-ass new car stereo (+ installation) is much more expensive than a bluetooth adaptor from China

    So if you're driving an ancient car out of necessity rather than for the aesthetic, this can help you get music into it.

    F'course

    Most cars from the age of tapes nowadays are relics. "Old cars" in the range that poor people drive out of necessity are from the CD age instead.

    You'd be surprised, I've seen cars from as late as 08 that still had cassette. Though that's probably heavily dependent on manufacturer, model, region, and sub model type. But my point still stands, hell id wouldn't be surprised if there was a car or two manufactured in 2012 that still came stock with a cassette deck.
