[QUOTE="Chromatic, post: 8220842, member: 659121"] @NASTY08IMPALA -- Have a question. This headunit wouldn't power on at all until I hooked the antenna cable into it. Why? Does that mean it's using the Antenna as a ground? I'm noticing a TINY bit of whine with nothing playing.. (very faint).. and I get what feels like a static electric shock when I get in and out of the car.. I do have cloth seats,.. but the Pioneer headunit didn't do this, at least not the shock. Any easy way to fix this without pulling the headunit out? IE: Ground loop eliminator in the rca's or something? The whine doesn't bother me really cause it's so quiet... but the shock seems odd. I have my ground firmly bolted 3 feet away to the sheetmetal in the back of the car. Any tips? I've read a few areas online the last 20 minutes about this problem.. and 3/4th's of the people say it's static electricity lol.. but it didn't do this before. So that doesn't seem right. No fuses are blowing or anything of course. [/QUOTE]
