I have just placed a deposit on a loaded Desert Sand TCH, currently "on the boat" and due to arrive in Los Angeles on 7/17. Dealer expects it to be available for delivery in Tucson on 7/27, or before! I have a question for the group regarding the use of the aux input. If powering the device (iPod) from the 12V outlet, is a ground loop device required to eliminate "alternator/engine/feedback noise"? I have heard that (on some vehicles) using the aux input and powering an audio device from the 12V power-point can cause this unwanted whine/noise. I currently use my iPod in my Highlander, thru an aftermarket device that plugs into the back of the radio, providing a one-wire (audio and power) interface ... thru the longer recepticle on the bottom of the iPod, rather than thru the RCA/earphone jack that I assume the TCH input will require. Hope I have made my question clear. hehe... Can anyone comment? Thanks!

Replying to: alp8 (Jul 13, 2006 9:49 am) I tried hooking up my Roady XT XM radio via the aux jack, and it sounds BAD - annoying hiss/whine that sounds like ground loop interference (and the audio level is pretty low). I think both of these are partially the fault of the Roady XT - I have seen a lot of comments about these issues - especially the audio level. I am using the FM transmitter in the meantime - it sounds far better than the AUX at this time. I will share my results with this GLI filter when it arrives. Thanks |

Replying to: kdhspyder (Jul 15, 2006 12:13 pm) I'm suspecting the cheap male-to-male 3.5mm cable I am using. I paid about $3 for it. It's 6ft long. There was a Monster Cable available, but for about $15. I considered paying for the upgrade, but figured I'd give the cheap one a shot. Can you tell us what type of cable you used? I found using the iPod interface inconvenient and probably a little dangerous as my eyes were off the road more than I'd like. I've seen some interface kits that connect to the full interface for aux devices and would give us control of the iPod from the steering wheel, just like with an XM. Not even sure if they are available for 07 Camry. Anyone seen or tried one of these? |
