Hey hifi, thanks for the response. I don't have any trouble with the ipod itself, that all works fine. Thanks for the link though, I'll keep that in mind in case something gets funky. The two wires I grounded to the battery are these: The two with the arrow pointing that says "Wire tap" although mine aren't set up like that. They both go to a larger gauged wire that goes to the negative battery terminal. Howcome the problem got worse when I did that, opposed to when they were just grounded to the frame? How would I go about grounding the RCAs?

Okay, so I posted this thread a while ago: http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic. ... celeration and I thought I had the problem solved. However, when I added a subwoofer to my trunk, the extra power draw from the amp made the alternator noise more audible through the front left speakers (or I started getting picky with the noise). Today, when I installed the I-200 Ipod connector (which works) I grounded both the AVIC ground and what I think is the amp ground to the negative battery terminal directly. The sound is worse now. This is installed in a 2001 Lexus IS300, and it was self installed

Hey thanks a lot guys, I opened it up today and made much better connections with the ground wires to the chassis and it solved the problem I appreciate the help!

Hi, I just installed my AVIC D3 into my 2001 Lexus IS300 yesterday. The install went pretty smooth (I followed a walkthrough that I printed off) but now I've got a problem with the left front door speakers (tweeter and door speaker). I did some searches for the problem and didn't find anything. When I accelerate, a high pitched noise comes out of only the front left door speakers. As I accelerate faster, the noise gets higher and higher pitched, depending on how far I push the pedal down. The noise doesn't go up in volume when I turn the volume up on the AVIC. I *could* live with the noise,
