E55 Tape Deck Problems

So, I use tapes to play songs from my iphone, but I recently bought a new tape because the old one kept switching sides. I bought a new one and the same problem persists.

Any ideas on what the problem is and what I can do to fix it?

You must mean a tape deck adapter to transfer from mini headphone output to the tape deck

It's an issue with yur tape deck... It's detecting too much resistance in the drive motor and keeps switching sides. Do you have an old tape to try?

You could always do an fm transmitter

Actually, when I put in the old one it switches sides all the time. With the new one, it only plays on the right speakers of the car.
