Has anyone had this problem with their Stereo

So on my brother's '06 Duramax Diesel, i put in a usa spec ipod adapter kit http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/e...PA11VOL-fp.jpg

at first he wanted to have it come accross his xm, so we cut the green wire down by his xm, but then when he realized he couldn't scroll through his music to select the song he said screw it and decided to do it the cd way... So i hooked the green wire back up and crimped it together, but now you can hear the motor. I taped my connection and everything. But you can still here the motor.

If i soldered the connection instead would it make any difference in getting rid of the motor noise? How do i get rid of the motor noise?

Try re-soldering it otherwise you may need another unit possibly. It sounds like your getting ground noise or a damaged unit can also make the same noise. Check all your grounds and RCA cables. :)

Is the green wire shielded or have some insulator covering of some kind?

maybe a inline noise capacitor

are you running a amp?? if so your engine noise could be coming from there and a inline filter would probally take care of it

The green wire is covered with electrical tape.

No, its just a stock system with this connected to it.

that green wire you have cut may have external wire shielding wrapped around the wire to keep out noise.If it does then you need to resolder that as well

Thanks for the help
