Does anyone know a way of eliminating the feedback from cell phone sites without taking the obvious step of turning my cell phone off?

It's not the cell tower that's interfering with your stereo, it's YOUR cellphone!

When you drive from one tower to the other, the cellphone transmits to change tower. Bad reception on the cellphone = more transmitter power (GSM is adjustable from 0.2Watts to 2.0 Watts transmitter power from the hand terminal)

Place your phone another place in the car, away from your audio wires and possibly a place with better cell signal, then the cellphone does not transmit as powerfull.
