| Post subject: | Ipod, hiss and gas |
About three weeks ago I noticed that sometimes when I step on the gas my speakers hiss, but only when my ipod is plugged in and playing. When I switch it back to radio the hissing goes away...my first thought was a grounding issue...what do you think? Could my ipod be going out or could it be the US Spec Ipod interface? I double checked all the wire connections except the one form the deck to the interface and all are tight and good. I thought perhaps something was touching the RCA ports on the interface but there is nothing in the glove box with it and the ipod and the ipod is in a silicone shell. Anyone else have this issue? Oh btw, here is a link to the interface.... http://www.crutchfield.com/p_581PA11CHR ... tml?tp=120 It is a couple years old now but that should not matter...I would not think. |

I'll bet the connector is not coax - so the two parallel wires running along that close are probably acting like a little antenna. |

Well, the one end that plugs into the the radio is the same material as your antenna. So if that is coax in the sense of car audio then it is. The other wire plugs into the other side and is a...more or less S video on one end and a ipod plug on the other. If it was acting like an antenna which it maybe doing so, why did it only now start? I would think it would be doing it from nearly the beginning. |
