[mega1268 10+ year member]

ok Im installing sirius stiletto to my car. I used the all teh wires . And with the FM extender it has TERRIBLE static. without it i get alot of static at high volume. then i relized im getting static on all my radio stations. So i unplugged the power from the ciggerette lighter. And as soon as i get rid of that. My static goes away. As soon as i plug in my plug the static comes back on just reg radio stations. Sounds like a ground problem maybe with the radio/Cigerette lighter?

best thing i can tell you to do is make your own socket for it with a good ground.

radio stations don't have very good quality sound to begin with.

Umm its the plug it came with. And as for trying it in another car all this stuff is like stuck to where its supposed to go and will not come off.

But its a night and day diffrence when the plug is in and when it is out.
