Hi, I had the same problem but managed to fix it a lot simpler than anticipated. My car is a 1.6 VW golf.
I started by making some ‘keys’ out of an old debit card to be able to unlock the radio / cassette fixture and pull it out of the main body. I then unplugged the antenna and the three cables to the left at the back of the radio box. Each cable had 3 subsequent cables leading into each main cable. All I did was u plug everything, and then plug in one at a time again, trying the cassette function at each plug in. After everything was back in place, the cassette player began to read the converter I had originally intended to use and everything worked fine. Hope this helps :)

Hi,
Does an ordinary cassette tape work in the head unit or does it also say no tape?
If it doesn't work either then there is a problem with the cassette deck in the head unit.
What is the year, make and model of the car?
Is it a stock or after market head unit?

I have the same problem in a 2002 Mazda MPV ES with stock radio. There was a tape stuck in it when I got it, but I easily removed that by taking the face off and prying it out. Brand new adapter, but player doesn't recognize that it is there. Both situations got, "No Tape"
Advice?
