Hello Folks,
I have a power inverter in my car so I just use my regular iPod home adapter to charge my ipod in my car. I have a problem though - when I am charging the iPod, I get a lot of noise. I can charge my laptop or cell phone while using the iPod (disconnected from the charger) without noise, so I'm thinking the iPod adapter is to blame. I doubt that I can replace it with a "better" one since it works just fine, plus Apple makes only 1 type of iPod adapters.
Anyways, the iPod is hooked up to aux inputs on my avic n1, so I'm thinking about getting a noise filter to put between the ipod and the avic n1.
Would this work? Any recommended noise filters? There are quite a number of them online so picking one with no prior experience gives me a funny feeling.
Thanks folks. I searched the forum, but nobody seemed to have an iPod + inverter case.

How is your power inverter wired?  Details really help to figure out the problem.  And just to clarify. There is no noise when you're not charging the iPod?

Welcome to the forum.

My inverter is wired to an ignition controlled 12V source. I only get noise when I plug in the charger... I could be playing music just fine with the inverter on, but as soon as I plug in the charger, it gets noisy.

you seem to have answered your own question.... try to connect the charger directly to the battery and see if you still have noise.... if you dont then just wire a plug assy directly to the battery.... (make sure to fuse it at the battery)

The charger is the home charger so it needs 120V, hence the inverter.
