    A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT engine whine through audio problem

    I installed an Alpine CDE-0845 today, and it has a rear imin plug for the AUX input. This is where my carputer feeds audio into the system.

    Anyhow, I noticed extreme engine whine (it's like 25% of the sound), but I also noticed that if I applied pressure on the plug on the back (slightly angling the connector up or down) the noise would completely disappear and sound was clean as soap.

    I think the issue has to do with grounding... like maybe when I apply pressure to the connector it grounds against the chassis of the radio and noise disappears...? Anyone else have theories?
