I tapped the cig lighter (at the fuse box using Add a Circuit) to power an aux. input device. When aux. inputs are played (dvd sound) the quality isn't as good as when the HU cd plays. Do you think this is a function of a crappy aux. input device (Soungate SDS1) or is "noise" coming in through the power to the SDS1? Or something else? I have short grounds on the dvd/lcd screen to one spot etc. Is there a device I can add to the power supply that will clean it up?

"tapped" from cig lighter might be the problem. Try another power source IE; Straight off the batery or something similar to see if it cleans up. Double check grounds for good clean connections.

I had a Power Acoustik DVD player that just wouldn't come through clean no matter what I did. One or two lines of distortion on the top of my LCD and lots of audio noise. Hooked up a PS2 through a power inverter and everything is clean. So it could very well be the product itself in my opinion.
