It appears that you have lost ground on the shields of yuor RCA jacks on your radio. To verify this take a short length of wire, ground one end and with your engine running touch the other end of the wire to the shield of your Patch cord. This should make a little pop and the noise should go away. let us know if this works and we can tell you how to fix it.

That might be the problem, i had the same problem on mypioneer radio a few yeras ago and i had to fix it that way on the back of the radio, been good ever since.

Hold on, where is your headunit grounded? You didn't use the factory harness right? Cause if you did that may be the source of your problem. Try finding an actual bolt connected to the frame of the car and ground the radio wire there. Also what kind of car is this?

right now the factory radio is back in place of the alpine radio due to problems with video. The factory radio has no ground connection on the harness it seems to grounded through the antenna or the the body itself. When the alpine radio was installed i grounded it to a bolt behind the dash. This install was for a 2000 maxima
