mp3 FM mod question
I've been using my xm radio to listen to my mp3 player through my factory radio. I don't have xm anymore so I took it out (along with the xm fm mod) and put in a regular fm modulator and now there's a loud constant wine. Now I'm wondering if there is a way to use the xm mod without the xm radio, since it sounded fine before. I was thinking maybe using an on/off switch for the power wire of the xm radio. Any suggestions?????

Re: mp3 FM mod question
I didn't know XM receivers had an audio input. I'd like to see/hear the details on how you got this to work. It sounds like you are getting noise or there is a problem with the modulator itself. There's no reason why it shouldn't work or for you to do any "mods" to make it work.

Re: mp3 FM mod question
That wine you're hearing is coming from the electrical system. You can buy inline filters that will reduce or eliminate the wine completely.

Re: mp3 FM mod question
There actually isn't an audio input. What I did was plugged my mp3 player up to my xm fm modulator input, and I had to power on the actual xm radio so it would turn the fm modulator on. So, what I was wondering is if I took the power wire coming from the fm modulator to the xm radio and connected a switch to it. It does sound confusing.
I'm probably going to get the inline filters I was just looking for an easier way around all these wires I keep adding so everything will work right. I wish now I would have just bought a new CD player with a usb input and rca input's....

Re: mp3 FM mod question
It sounds like the XM radio's fm modulator is of a higher quality than your standalone fm modulator.
One of those filters should take care of the whine.
