[QUOTE="Heese, post: 1434370, member: 565909"] I just received an AudioLink which allows me to connect my ipod directly to my factory head unit via the cd changer connector. A link to it is here [URL="http://www.mazda3forums.com/index.php?topic=34982.0"]http://www.mazda3forums.com/index.php?topic=34982.0[/URL] When the ipod is paused and I crank the volume way up I can hear a lot of other additional noise. Under normal driving conditions I cannot hear the sounds at all with ipod turned up. For some reason though it bothers me. So i moved back some of the rubber covering and noticed that some of the wiring on the black cable is exposed at both ends. I included some pictures here. [URL="http://homepage.mac.com/khaver/My%20Website/"]http://homepage.mac.com/khaver/My%20Website/[/URL] My question is can this be causing some of the noise that Im hearing with the iPod paused? Is there somewhere that sells this same small wiring? I wouldnt mind buying my own wires so that I can make my own cable. I went to Lowe's but they didnt have any wiring like this. would a ground loop isolator help? I've been hearing a lot about those. But the ones I've come across require rca inputs which i don't have. Thanks in advance for your help. [/QUOTE]
