I noticed today that my d3 has a slight whine when im listening to the ipod. At low volumes you can barely hear it but when you turn it up it is noticeable. It is annoying too. I dont hear it under any other input just the ipod. Any one else have this problem or a way to fix it?
Just sat in my car for a little while to try and figure out where the wine came from. So if anyone has the same problem here is how to make it less noticeable. It seems to be caused by the ipod when it goes into standby with the backlight. If you keep the backlight on constantly then the problem is alot less noticeable. It may kill the backlight on the ipod, but i rather have no white noise.
I'm having the same problem in a 2005 Ford F150 and can't get rid of the noise.
Does the problem occur only when it's plugged in to the cigarette lighter and charging, or when it's running on battery power also?
I'm using the CD-1200 iPod cable plugged directly into the back of the D3 and the noise occurs whether the charging function is turned on or off.
Just got the d3 installed and on the way home I noticed a faint hissing sound when I was playing my ipod. It went away after I changed sources. When I went back it wasn't there. Then later I think it come back.
Mine still has the whine/hiss. I really wonder what it is.
Same problem, I feared this when buying the cdi200, as it has no ground. Will turning charge off eliminate this?
Problem diagnosed and fixed. Mine goes away when you turn off the charging feature. Just have to remember to turn it on when listening to sirius.
mine does it too it got really annoying to me, since i listen to my music loud haha, but the only way i found to get rid of it was to keep the back light of the ipod on all the time and the noise disappears. i was kinda disappointed because i dont want to mess the ipod up
