Hiss noise?

Hey folks,

 

I just installed my F90BT, and I've noticed a very annoying hissing noise (very noticeable when volume is between 01-03). It occurs mainly after driving directions are sounded, or when moving between screens when the beep sound is created.

 

It does seem to go away after a while, and it is not very noticeable at higher volume levels as it gets drowned out. However, neither of these are great "solutions". :roll:

 

Any ideas?

The fan on the back of the deck?

No definitely not a fan noise. This is a speaker hiss. I thought I might have a bad ground or something, but all my connections are good, and wired bypass is working flawlessly. :?:

That was my guess too (bad ground). Just wondered if everyone got the same results I had. Oh well, I'm taking my dash all apart anyhow to hook up my ipod cable that my F90 didn't come with even though it said it should have... (at least I got it free). I will check the grounds on everything again, and tape like a fool! :P

I just posted a reply to your other post about BT being LOUD. A line level converter will fix you hiss problem too! It did for me :)

I know it's a bit late, but I wanted to let you know that I encountered a similar issue. What it boiled down to was me using the wiring harness for a car that already sends output to a factory amplifier. The amplifier is receiving high-volt input when it should be getting low-volt signal (RCA outs, in effect, or in context of an after-market head unit).

 

So make some adapters to run your RCA outputs to the harness, and the hissing should go. Sometimes it really isn't grounding, but it's a tricky thing to determine.
