Who's the car radio install expert, here?

[PapaBear]

<p>I recently installed a new stereo in my car (first time). It's worked out fine except for one thing. You know the noise you get when the ground isn't connected? Well... I don't get that noise with the tuner, CD, or USB port, but I do with the auxiliary input (using my Myfi).</p><p>The only ground wire I didn't connect was one that was marked as a ground for a power antenna. I don't have a power antenna, so I taped it up, and left it unconnected. Do you think it's possible, that the unit requires that ground wire to be connected for the Aux jack?</p><p>Praise be, to anyone with a good answer.</p>

<p>don't know about installs too PapaBear but if you ever need one uninstalled in a hurry just park your car in Jersey City...</p><p><img src="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smile.gif" border="0" /></p><p>i've lost no less than 3 radios, speakers, equalizer, power booster...&nbsp; and a couple of windows</p>

<p>Wowie zowie...</p><p>I just looked at the connection list that came with the the wiring connector. There's one marked &quot;Aux Shield Ground&quot;. I bet that's it! </p><p>I hope it works, when I&nbsp;connect it tomorrow. R&amp;F isn't as good with that annoying noise that increases every time I hit the accelerator.</p>

They sell a cheap little in-line gidget at radio shack that installs on the power feed.&nbsp; Supposedly it reduces the transmitted engine noise while uploading your location, speed, and B.A.C. to the nearest Highway patrol.
