If things work the same with new cars as they do with old ones, that noise you hear is what's referred to as "engine noise" in the car stereo circles. I think there's a few things that casue this. One is a bad ground, check it out. The other happens if you're running an amplifier and are using RCA patch cables. If you run your RCA cables and the power wire together (or is it the ground wire?) they will cause this noise. What we used to do back in high school was run power to one side, ground to the other and then RCA cables down the middle. basically just make sure these wires arent all caught up in each other. Hope this helps Check the stereo ground too Matt ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web! Visit http://www.vwtype3.org/list/
