Engine Noise with P.I.E. MAZ/PC-ALP Aux Input Converter

Has anyone used the PIE converter, did you get engine noise and if so how did you get rid of it.
Thanks in advance.

Ground loop isolator - or try to re-route your wires.

I tried a GLI and it really didn't help. Make sure all the connections are tight. Personally I'm going to try and run a seperate ground to the Sirius unit I'm using the PIE for.

Ground loop isolator worked for about month then engine noise came back. All the wires connections are tight so I don't understand why noise came back.

Mine is working fine with XM Radio and Sansa MP3, I'm using the PIE MAZ/PC-ALP with the cable ALP/M-3.5M and the power of my XM radio is connected in the front 12v plug, I heard there is a problem withe the back 12v plug.
