Engine Noise thorugh Ipod - HELP!!!
I've connected my ipod to my car deck with a dock connector. The connector powers the Ipod and acts as a audio connector all in one.
The only problem I have is that when I use it now there's a slight hum (engine noise) in the backgorund that can be heard when accelerating. I've tried adding a gorund wire to the cigarette lighter in an attempt to provide a better ground but that didn't help. The problem still exists when I use the dock connector only to provide power and connect the audio to the deck thorugh the regular headphone jack. I've also tried connecting a different Ipod and the same things happened.
Anyone else with the same problem? Any ideas? I'm open to any suggestions.
Thanks

yea i had that problem it was an rca that was crossing another one
i baught some things that reduce the noise and was ****ing with them and dident need them
on my deck it had 2 wires with a box on the end i duno what it was but if that was close 2 the deck that made a loud motor noise through my speekers so i tucked it far away from my deck and it all went quiet

The RCA's are fine because I was using the exact same ones for my changer before. I've tried 2 different brands of connectors and the same thing happened.
Davis... That's a good point. I'm going to try grounding the RCA because I can't hard wire the power as it's an Ipod dock connector so there's more than just power wires in the harness.
I'll let you guys know how that goes but for the meantime please keep the suggestions coming.
and thanks for all the suggestions.

Interesting.... Whiplash. Yeah this is the first time I've used the cig lighter for an audio device. I'll have to pull the dash apart and try the ground wire on the RCA first. If that doesn't work I'll try hard wiring the power but I think that'll be real difficult because the cig lighter piece has the mini plug in it as well. I hate to hack it open but I can't stand the engine noise.... as I'm an SQ freak......

With the warm weather I finally got a chance to try to fix it. I hard wired it and it was the same if not a bit worse. Should I try a nosie filter on the 12V line?
The ground wire on the RCA's didn't do anything either.
Any more suggestions?
