i just bought an ipod w/ an fm adapter (the one the plugs into ur cigarett lighter)
and when the car is running i can hear this high pitch whining comming from the speakers that gets higher with the rpms of the engine. any ideas what may fix it?

 

Road noise. Are you using a amp for speakers? Those ipod radio things suck spend the cash for a ipod radio. I got one well worth the 220 I spend on it. But good luck

 

Its distortion from your alternator because its plugged into your lighter. When the alternator spins faster the noise gets louder. Solution? Go buy a deck with a AUX, my kenwood was only 100 bucks and comes with a AUX on the front. Thats probably the easiest way to fix it.

 

mine has an aux mode (CD, radio, AUX) option is that what ur talking about or is it an external port your thinking of

 

hook your ipod up to the aux and problem solved, dont hook the ipod up the the lighter.

 

how do i do that?

 

Take it to best buy and have them charge you a couple hundred dollars.

Your deck should have either an auxiliary input, or it may have just a CD changer connection and you would need the adapter from your deck's manufacturer. Then you hook a cable from the aux input to your device's headphone or line output jack. Line output is better than the headphone jack if you have one. If not, just use the headphone jack.

I bought an adapter cable for my Pioneer deck that plugs into the deck's CD changer input. It has RCA jacks on the other end. So then I just plug in a stereo mini-jack to RCA adapter cable from Radio Shack and attach that to my MP3 player.

 

i dont know what you mean by hook it up to my aux, my aux is a seeting in my cd
player, not an external port

 

awsome thanks PatrickGSR94 that was the answer i needed

 

The AUX mode on the deck changes it so that it will play signals from the auxiliary input, be that an actual input on the front or back of the deck, or the CD changer input.
