Interference on AM only...

[offthahook]

You know that hum/hiss you get when you hit the gas? I get it, but only on AM stations. I know there is a filter under the hood, but I wonder if there is a stronger aftermarket type that I wouldn't have to pull the head unit to install. JVC CD head unit. I get a hum when the engine is off, but the ignition is on ACC, too. Help me out!

Who cares? Its AM and its not the 1950s anymore.

Yes, there is an in-line noise filter that plugs in between the 12V switched and the HU and has its' own ground. Retails for about $20 new.

Any name brands to suggest?? That's prolly the route I'll go.

Yea mine is real bad also. I need the AM to hear what the temp is so gonna be so I'll know if it is going to be a slippery ride or not. Mine got alot worse after upgrading my stock headunit to a pioneer cd player. Does anyone know if these filters actually do anything? I really want AM again but not if my $20 is going to go to waste.
