On a Accord '03 using the car2pc adaptor and with this ground loop isolator (link above) the noise was still on. The car2pc has also a usb for the steering wheel controls and it seems that the noise disappears when the usb cable is disconnected.... I suspect either a defected car2pc unit or the toshiba satellite laptop I am using is causing this.

I sent the car2pc unit back for a replacement, since I was only getting sound from the right side speakers and the noise was coming from the speakers with no sound on the left side of the car… hope the new car2pc will do the trick when it arrives... otherwise its going to be time to get a new laptop.
