Default iPod2car Problem

I installed the iPod2car in my 98 stock single cd player/radio back in May of this year, it has been working fine up until this past week. I am now hearing what sounds like alternator noise ( noise changes with engine speed ). Any ideas why this would all of a sudden start happening after working fine for the last 2 months ? has the unit possibly crapped out on me ? still plays songs no problem.

It is possible that you are developing a bad wire to one of your plugs. This is pretty common for the noise you are describing

I have one that is practically brand new. I put it in April and I just put a new HU in. I can sell it cheap $50. If you or anyone wants it, I'll even pay the shipping. Guaranteed not DOA or money back!

Thanks guys. I guess I'll have to pull the console off and have a look at the wires and connections.
