Looking to get one ASAP. (As in today)
PAC SNI-1/3.5 RCA GRound Loop Isolator noise filter
They are available online but I don’t want to wait
TIA
worth a shot
Radio Shack has them but I’ve never seen one with headphone jacks, just RCA’s. You can just buy adapters if you need the right jack.
Yeah, I know of that one but I would prefer not to have all of the extra adapters.
Thanks though.
Can you solder? Make your own.
Yes, but no time.
Mike dont buy the one from radio shack it blows. I was using one for my ipod setup in the s4 and tried the radio shack one and it did nothing. I paid 25 bucks for a PAC one like you have and it worked great. Got it from crutchfield though.
Did you sell yours with the car?
yep
they’re bandaids, not solutions… most of the time they don’t properly solve the problem. I’m going to assume you’re tried finding a better ground?
If you wiring something into a stock radio like I did you dont have much choice. I wired up a ipod dock to the stock audi bose system using the cd changer audio in. It sounded great until I plugged in the charger for the ipod. That created a ground loop, I tried different grounds for the charger and it all gave the same noise. I put a PAC noise filter in between the ipod audio out and the changer audio in and it sounded great.
Exactly.
I am not really interested in dropping $100 on the “appropriate” adapter for my stock headunit.
