Thread: Here is my latest progress... What do you guys think?

thats one sweet ride...

would kill for an M3.....

I consider this your fair warning that I will be coming to steal your car . But kidding aside, looks kick ***!

Incase you don't get my email....

1) how are you hooking up your screen? my video card has tv out (rca)....looks like you are using vga????

2) explain your power situation.....i am stuck b/c I can't get my power inverter to stop making this horrible sound....

if you have any ideas, here are the facts

1) my computer and xbox are off
2) stereo is in AUX mode
3) constant LOUD noise from speakers when inverter is turned ON
4) when inverter is on, can switch to stereo mode...no Inverter noise coming through speakers
5) inverter is Superex brand, brand new...350 continuous, 1100 max
6) have a good ground to the car chasis
7) power is hooked to battery
8) ran an extension cord from the house to try this out, everything works great with NO noise (here the inverter is not being used, power from the house only)...so it is not the stereo AUX mode
9) have tried this with the car on and off
10) the inverter does power items up just fine...???
11) unhooked my sub amp and cables...did not help
12) car speakers are run to the stereo....
13) took the inverter out of the car keeping the wires away from the other wires inside the car.....still makes the noise


I AM AT A LOSS---please help if you can??

Where did you put the on board computer display and controls?

I had the same problem... Ive have been using an inverter untill up OPUS arrives

I found that if you earthed (earth) shields of the audio line in, to the car's earth.
Then the noise went away

I found you could connect both of them together then to the earth with no adverse affects

Hope this helps

sorry man, i am from the U.S. and don't understand what you mean by 'earthing them together'....do you mean you took both ground wires and grounded them at the same place?

thanks,

Yes that is the meaning, Earth = Ground in this usage.
