Just FYI, the cassette plug in dies not scratch the heads. The head  
sensor does not move, but stays stationary. A quality cassette adapter  
outperforms an FM transmitter any day (check the FM limits vs.  
Cassette specs).   I have tested lots of them. I also have used a  
cassette adapter in my Beetle TDI for many years with no issues.
