As an added note, in a CarPC setup sometimes buzz or hum can come from an unmuted MIC or Line-In on your sound card. this has been happening to me lately.

Another thing bugbyte probably meant to mention, is make sure your groud points are clean. That means sand/grind off all paint and such so you get a clean metal on metal connection.

Regarding grounding to the battery ... I've always heard and read it's better to keep your ground cables as short as possible. YMMV ... so if they're long and you get no noise more power to ya.
