Default Tape Adapter...?

I just picked my car up about 5 days ago and I purchased a cassette adapter so I could play an mp3 plAyer through the radio. When I insert the adapter, the headunit tries to play it then it tries to play the other side of the tape. I can hear it playing my music but then it just randomly ejects my adapter. I have a 2000 SS with the monsoon system. Anybody know how to make the cassette adapter work??? Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

actually, i've had this problem just start on mine, but seems to only doing it when it's hotter outside. in the evenings and at night it's fine. during the mid day/afternoon time frames it pops the adapter out. sometimes when it seats itself, i just kinda give it a tiny extra nudge and it seems to help, but doesn't fix it completely. this is just making me want to install the cd player i have quicker but still need to get an HUmount. hehe.
