All,

A Ground-Loop Isolator may be required when the auxiliary device is charged/power from the vehicle's 12V battery source. This part can be found at Radio Shack (Cat.No. 270-054) and will eliminate unwanted noise caused by ground loops.

I installed the ground loop isolator since friday and the problem went away. Most particularly you will notice the fidelity improvement and no more hum. The "Aux" is now working properly even with a powered device such as XM Mifi, iPod, xM2Go, etc. plugged into 12v source.

Good Luck1
