I own a 2018 Toyota Camry XSE and it has both a USB port and a 3.5-mm analog input to its stereo.

I think you should probably get rid of the cassette in favor of a hi-res digital Walkman because they sound much, much better. I have a FiiO M11 Quad DSD Walkman that I plug into my Camry's analog stereo input and it sounds fantastic. I prefer it over a USB flash drive, but my Toyota will playback up to 24/192 PCM digital from a USB flash drive. You really should explore a new DSD digital Walkman because it will trounce a cassette Walkman.

I also own a fifteen thousand dollar turntable with a thousand dollar phono cartridge and a four thousand dollar phono preamp, so I understand your attraction to analog. However, a FiiO DSD Walkman will put a cassette Walkman to shame. Anyway, check out a Toyota Camry XLE or XSE and I think you'll find they still have an analog 3.5-mm input to their stereo system.

Good luck,
John Elison
