By the way, I have yet to try a ground loop isolator that actually works. Some do reduce the problem, but they never eliminate it entirely. The bottom line is that the problem you're trying to solve with those is with the aftermarket component's poor design and cheap connstruction, which can't. be fixed with an external gadget. If it were actually the vehicle, then why is it that factory stereos _never_ have that problem? There clearly is a design issue that the aftermarket engineers are ignoring.
