[QUOTE="schleprock, post: 8609609, member: 674089"] I have a stock CD player/radio in my 2006 Honda Accord. I read where I could buy a kit to plug into the back of it that would allow me to listen to my MP3 player through it so I bought it and installed it. It works but it makes this odd whine/hissing sound when I use it. It only makes the sound if AUX is selected, if it is not it makes no noise on CDs or radio. The MP3 player can be hooked up and it still won't make noise unless AUX is selected. (I mention this because the first thing I thought I should try is to change plug wires, but I didn't because it only does it on AUX) So I read that this is likely an alternator feedback issue. I bought something called an Aukey Ground Loop Isolator. I plugged it in and it still hisses and whines. (I switched the way I plugged it in from the Kit to the MP3 player, I thought it might work directionally or something but no, it still makes the noise) What should I try next? This noise has to go. I gotta get rid of it. Thank you Additional: I got the Aukey off of Ebay. It was new and in the right packaging. But could it be a bad ground loop isolater? [/QUOTE]
