Just installed and now I have fuzzy noise - Toyota Yaris Forums

I just installed my Pioneer avh-p4000dvd. Used the relay trick to get full-time access to music videos and dvd playback. It's working like a charm and sounds great except for one thing. I have static or fuzzy noise in the background... all the time

I tried unplugging my xm radio from the aux in, didn't change anything with the static. Unplugged the xm from the 12v acc outlet, still not change. Unplugged the antenna, no change. I'm not sure what else to try except for one thing... but I don't wanna pull the unit back out! When I installed this I thought I would ground the unit directly to the negative on the battery. Did that because my xm radio used to have a little whine in the background when it was plugged into the aux input on my kenwood unit before this. The little whine is gone, but now I have static. Anybody have any suggestions? Audio settings maybe? I'm not too knowlegeable on equalizer curves and stuff... I've also got a 4 channel amp for my speakers and mono amp on my sub. Didn't change anything in those when I put the new reciever unit in.

I think it has to be something with the relay, but I just don't know what. Anybody have any suggestions? Any comments are appreciated!
