    Most car stereo manufacturers who publish any spec on temperature
state that the ambient temperature in the car should be 60 deg F or 
better.  (Blaupunkt, Pioneer, etc..)  On a cold morning, I would recomend
waiting for the car to warn up inside before inserting a tape.  There is 
no problem with playing the radio in the mean time.

    By playing a tape when the deck is too cold, you are putting stress
on the motor and belt.
