    Ground loop isolator may do the job, it fits somewhere bewteen head unit and ampid you have one, also know as noise supressors. I had one of the units shin is referring to when I ran my carPC - it was about $10 shipped from Hong Kong and it worked a treat.

    I am learning that the Iphone and Itouch are not the best with these interfaces. I'm unsure whether I'm going to run another GB or not at this stage. If I do it will be for this forum only, not OMC as well.

    UPDATE: With the iPhone 3.0 software update, you can now play audio using the bluetooth feature on the iPod adapter. What you need to do:

    1. Update your iPhone through iTunes
    2. Make sure it is paired with the Charmaker iPod adapter
    3. Have the iPod adapter selected on the head unit and make sure Bluetooth is enabled on the iPhone
    4. Start playing a song...and that's it! (if it doesn't work, press the bluetooth button and select the Charmaker unit)


    This eliminates the road noise problem with the iPhone, and also no longer requires that you plug it in. The only downside is that you can't change tracks on the steering wheel. But the quality is good!

    Yes. The iPod Touch has the upgrade available but you have to pay for it. Not 100% sure if the touch has BT though

    No - touch doesnt have BT, but there are some reported background noise issues.

    How's it looking for the bluetooth versions? Are you still looking at getting some more mid July?

    If so I would like one, as the interference is annoying the bejesus out of me.

    Hey Mate, do you have any of these left? I'd be interested in a BT Iphone one for a MPS6 if you do. Cheers Craig
