i'm getting bad ground loop noise with the belkin car charger, has anyone else used this thing?
i took mine apart and am in the process of installing it inside the dash, could it be a result of removing the fuse?
i picked up a ground loop isolator from radioshack and have tried using this, it gets rid of the noise but it also gets rid of about 50% of the audio as well

Mine sounds great. Make sure the volume on your belkin charger is less then halfway up.

do you have yours plugged into the cigarette lighter?
its not the volume level on mine, the noise in mine changes with rpm

instead of putting the belkin charger in the cigarette lighter, i soldered it to the insides of my head unit, now i have no more ground noise and the center console is a bit cleaner

Hey bro, have you tried a ground loop isolator or a noise filter. I just did this with my system and all my noise are gone =)

i picked up a ground loop isolator from radioshack and it sounded like it muted everything 50%
