Hi guys,
I've just installed a new head unit in my jeep and am very proud of myself for wiring everything neatly including the audio cord (3.5mm headphone jack) connecting the satellite radio receiver to the unit HOWEVER there is a high pitched whine coming through the speakers when I have AUX selected which coincides with engine rpms. This is likely alternator interference. I would like to install some kind of low pass filter in the audio cord going to the sat receiver, from what I've read, an RC unit with a series resistor and parallel capacitor is a good choice, but I am unsure of what values will filter the whine while still allowing clear sound. Any advice is appreciated!
Joe
