[QUOTE="mystikarkitect, post: 3174166, member: 569957"] Well fellas...sometimes things just aren't meant to be. I tried the common ground with amp turned on try and it did not work so I went to Radio Shack and got ground loop isolators (2) one for the fronts and one for the rears. Since the isolator can only control one set of RCAs at a time I needed two. So I got 2. Well I put em in and they really helped the noise out, isnt drowned out completely but it can only be heard very very faintly if the truck is running, standing still and the A/C is off. This is where it gets funny. Finally after it was all said and done, I put my H/U back in....and its freezing at the startup screen. If any of you are familiar with Avic Z-1s, there is a Pioneer startup screen at the beginning. Well it stays frozen there now that there is no whine...lol. Next Nav unit I buy won't be a Pioneer...I'll go Eclipse or maybe even Alpine. I was a solid Pioneer customer before this happened, and from Avic forums it seems to be happening quite a bit to a lot of people in hot climates. Go figure. Well thanks for all of your help guys, I really appreciate it. Sucks but oh well. [/QUOTE]
