Griffin DirectDeck (Cassette Adapter) for iPod Trouble

[Epitome]

[color=#4863A0][size=1]So, I bought one of these at Target today because I just bought a car and it only has a cassette player and no CD player. Basically it's an adapter that has an end you plug into your iPod headphone jack and then the other end is in the form of a cassette, and you put that into the actual player and it plays your iPod through the speakers in the car.

Now for some reason, I can listen using this adapter for a while and then I get the "E 101" message where the radio station numbers and clock would be. Also, it keeps "skipping," for a lack of a better word. I'm not too sure whats wrong and I checked the Griffin website and came up with nothing.

So, has anyone had any similar problems with this device and if so, did you find a way to fix them?[/size][/color]
