Noise when I plug in iPod adapter

[one_stinky_bum]

Hello Folks,

I have a power inverter in my car so I just use my regular iPod home adapter to charge my ipod in my car. I have a problem though - when I am charging the iPod, I get a lot of noise. I can charge my laptop or cell phone while using the iPod (disconnected from the charger) without noise, so I'm thinking the iPod adapter is to blame. I doubt that I can replace it with a "better" one since it works just fine, plus Apple makes only 1 type of iPod adapters.

Anyways, the iPod is hooked up to aux inputs on my avic n1, so I'm thinking about getting a noise filter to put between the ipod and the avic n1.

Would this work? Any recommended noise filters? There are quite a number of them online so picking one with no prior experience gives me a funny feeling.

Thanks folks. I searched the forum, but nobody seemed to have an iPod + inverter case.

just get a 12v charger for the ipod. The home one is what is causing the noise. The Noise filter won't do anything for you.

Your problem is the inverter. Unless you get a really, REALLY nice one they don't generally put out the normal 60hz power. It's actually quite a bit more than that. This is why you're getting the noise that you have.

Ok, I got a car charger for the iPod... I'll let you know how it works.

Mine still did it...even with the car charger. It's just a slight noise from the voltage. Just charge it when you're not in the car //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
