- VE Calais V, 6.0 V8
Hi all,
I have a series 1 ve Calais V with the standard problem of alternator whine and noise noise through aux while charging and playing ipod. Originally I was charging through the cigarette socket, I then bought a dc-dc converter with usb out and hooked it up to the blank plug next to the stereo on the drivers side but the noise is as bad as ever.
What's next?
Should I try a ground loop isolator and hook that up between the blank plug and DC-DC converter?
Should I just get a 3.5 aux in line noise filter? (I am worried this will degrade audio quality?)
Should I try grounding my dc-dc converter somewhere else?
Any other suggestions?
I don't want an iPod connection kit through rear aux because I have the rear DVD entertainment system, and I also listen to music through my phone (android).
Is there a cost effective way to add Bluetooth a2dp to the stock unit? Something like the parrot asteroid mini I guess but cheaper?
Has anyone had this problem and fixed it?
