[QUOTE="blueribb, post: 8782685, member: 685274"] I'm a 70 year old retired TV and Computer Tech. I own a mint condition 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee and decided to treat myself to a new head unit. I ordered a JVC KD-TD71BT from Crutchfield along with a pre-made wiring harness adapter. Installation was a breeze and now I can stream Pandora music via bluetooth from my cellphone. After 6 months of use with no issues, I now have bad intermittent distortion when the engine is running. The distortion is not static but sounds like blown speakers. It affects Pandora streaming, playing a CD and FM equally. All 4 door speakers were replaced a few years ago. With the engine shut off, the audio is fine. My Jeep came with the upgraded Infinity System. There's an amplifier under the back seats. My hookup allows that amplifier to work with the new JVC head unit. Since the distortion is only heard when the engine is running, can I assume the problem is not the new JVC head unit ? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Glenn [/QUOTE]
