    Hey All.
    Having trouble finding a cassette deck Bluetooth adapter that has a C Style charging port.
    I've heard they are out there but everything I found so far is micro usb.
    So I was wondering if anyone out there has such a thing and could let me know what brand .
    Thanks for reading and as always requires very much appreciated.

    Maybe I'm not understanding. That will work with any tape deck/cd even record player with 3.5mm jack.

    You do realize that our rigs have no Bluetooth, right? Pretty sure he's asking for the cassette adapter that looks like a cassette to put in the car's cassette player but you can feed it from an audio source that is USBC.

    I found this on Amazon, it comes with a USBC adapter...no idea how well it works:
    $14 arsvita Car Audio aux Cassette Adapter and a Type C to 3.5mm Audio Aux Jack Adapter,Compatible for Google, Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei All Type C Port Devices. - White
    https://www.amazon.com/Arsvita-Cassette-Adapter-Compatible-Devices/dp/B07S94QFZL

    I added bluetooth to my rig. It just is a transmitter on a chosen channel and is crystal clear:
    $22 Nulaxy KM18Plus 48W Bluetooth 5.4 Car Adapter with Fasting Charging Ports [PD 30W & QC3.0 18W], 1.44" Screen, Hands-Free Call

    Actually, I think I got it slightly wrong. OP wants the cassette adapter that receives BT but charges via USBC. I was only able to find Micro USB. I'm not sure why you couldn't just get a Micro to USBC adapter for it:
    $6 JXMOX USB C to Micro USB Adapter, (4-Pack) Type C Female to Micro USB Male Convert Connector Support Charge Data Sync Compatible with Samsung Galaxy S7 S7 Edge, Nexus 5 6 and Micro USB Devices (Grey)
    https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-Convert-Connector-Support-Compatible/dp/B07GH5KJH2

    Just pop one onto your USBC cable or leave it on the cassette adapter:
    ION Audio Cassette Adapter Bluetooth | Bluetooth Music Receiver for Cassette Decks
    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I3YLHAC
