Default Radio reception gets static when 12v aux plug is in use

2002 Honda accord coupe EX. Original Radio works fine until I plug a charger into the 12v auxillary plug.....then the radio gets static. Pull the charger out.....radio then works fine. Any ideas as to what may be causing this? Thanks in advance.

Replace chassis grounds with well shielded, larger gauge wires. Clean all grounding points so they have good positive contact between the ends and bare mounting points. Ensure your radio's ground is in good shape, too.
