So, yes. I finally got my iPod problem solved. It was, in fact, the Radio Shack noise filter. It seems that their idea of a noise filter just isn’t an isolating transformer, it also has a cap in it, which manages to keep a bit of juice going through the Key\/Acc line. I noticed this manifesting itself in the radio, which would continue to play for .5 seconds after I’ve flipped the car off. I never remembered it happening, anyway…<\/p>\n
But, I removed this filter and the problem is gone. Everything’s working great, just a little alternator whine at loud volumes when no music is playing. Perhaps I’ll investigate a better quality filter in the future. For now, I’m glad it’s done.<\/p>\n
Anyway, there’s some pictures of my iPod hooked into the car at http:\/\/www.dingleberrypie.com\/gallery\/ipod_incar.
