Is this thing even real?

I would suggest using an aux cable instead.

Yes, it's real and it works fine. There are also fully passive aux cable versions available.

My first car doesn't even have aux port, so I had to use something similar, but connect to 3.5mm jack instead.

the stereo often has an aux input on its backside that you can wire up

Sadly my tape player doesn't work anymore, not really sure why? I had planned in getting on of these also my car lacks on aux port.
