new radio engine noise

[etlsport]

the only thing i can think now is try disconnecting the power cable to your subs from the battery and run the vx and see if that makes any difference.. if it does you know thats where the noise comes from.. if not maybe try a new ground for it.... and if not id guess its an internal problem in the head unit


garful.. any luck with new grounds on your head unit? ive had issues with dual head units in general... one just quit on me out of nowhere.. i got nothing but whining from the speakers, not even a hint of music... another stopped sending a signal to turn on amps out of the blue

I did what you said Etl and it didnt help so then i got pissed off and i just start ripping cables off and i found out that if i unplug my radio from the ciggarete adapter noise goes away so now i need to rewire my satelite unit to something else. IM not sure how to do that. Any advice on that?

you were running your radio off your cigarette lighter's power source?

lol i think he means satellite radio was on the cig lighter... i hope... lol.. if thats the case than yea definitely hardwire it and see if that fixes the problem

LOL no kidding im talking about satelite unit and not my head unit pluged to the cig adapter lol
I took apart the connector from satelite and there is fuse in there so if i hot wire it will it blow my satelite unit or no?

is xm running digital or does in come in through the radio??

you can add an inline fuse no problem, just re-use the fuse from there and add it into a new fuse holder, if u dont cant find one to hold glass fuses let me know ill send you one, ive got a few lying around
