It can't hurt, try it out.

Could it be a bad unit? Does it **** in both cars?

 

[nateberrier 10+ year member]

it puts out a little noise in both cars, its dependent on the charger being plugged in obv. im going to rip a ferrite filter off a VGA cable at work and stick it around my aux cable before i drop 17 bucks. the unit is def not sq oriented and would satisfy most people. i bought a new deck and the aux input on this is more sensitive so i hear it to the point where i refuse to listen to aux till i fix this.

Can't you set the AUX input sensitivy? I believe I can do that on all the decks I've had?

Try hard wiring too, just too see if the cig outlets are the problem? I see that common locally in my friends cars.

i have thought about hard wiring it i just hate cutting up things i might sell later lols. i guess if i solder it right it would look pretty ok. idk i just cut the ferrite out so if that doesnt satisfy my ill be cutting up my adapter.

ferrite fail. time for hardwirin.

just try that noise filter, ya cheap bastard. i know u have the moneys!

thats like running 2v preouts and turning the gain way up or running 4v and not. either way it gets just as loud but i dont want it to sound like poo. 5 minutes to hard wire or 5 days of waiting and out 20 bucks
