A/C causing hum with satellite radio -- solution?

[fnkngrv]

I actually have this issue only when attempting to play audio through a device when it has to use power from the 12v plug...I am hoping to find a different route as I am going to be hardwiring in my power for my Sirius with an inline fuse. I will let you all know how that goes...I didn't want to risk losing any more volume as the factory Sport deck doesn't have much as it is.

I think my problem was related to the 12v plug as well -- I didn't seem to notice a problem when using an Sandisk Sansa or iPod (but I don't have a 12v adapter to fully test this). Even with the A/C off I was still able to notice a slight whine when using the Sirius receiver (I didn't notice this the first day, but it became apparent after listening to talk stations)

I wonder if this would help you:

This is what Sirius tech support recommended to me, but I went with the other filter since I wasn't hard-wiring the power.
