[QUOTE="joat79, post: 1096453, member: 562952"] I have the Delphi XM SkyFi2. I got an accessory plug to hide behind the console to power the unit. The plug gets 12+ from the accessory lead on the radio harness, and it's grounded at the interior fuse box. I also tried grounding it into the ground lead in the radio harness. I get significant noise through the XM radio. It's whiney in proportion to engine speed, and when the engine is off I hear a cyclical whine/tick (about 2 ticks a second). I don't remember getting much noise when I plugged the XM power into the factory accessory plug, but I could be wrong. I don't hear any noise when I tune to FM or listen to a CD, just when I am on aux for XM. I have the Blaupunkt Miami Beach head unit in my 04 Saturn VUE V6. Should I find yet another place for the ground for the XM tuner? Would a line filter work, and should I get one for the power or audio lines? Do I need to "shield" the accessory plug I installed? Could it be interferrence in my cheapo mini-to-RCA cable? Thanks for any suggestions. [/QUOTE]
