[QUOTE="ccrs8, post: 7370431, member: 634011"] Thanks for the responses! I think I'll have time today to take a look at the grounding issue. If it is a grounding issue, could this be why when I have my smartphone plugged in to the cigarette lighter for charging and try to listen to streaming audio from it through my car speakers via the aux-in port of the radio, I get a lot of distortion and hissing? To get clear sound I either have to unplug the phone from the cigarette lighter (and drain the battery while streaming the audio) or use an aux-in cable that has a noise filter on it (that's what I do). When I researched that issue when I first got the radio, the consensus of those on the internet was that I was experiencing a "ground loop" issue. [/QUOTE]
