Default Fix for the grounding noise you get when you use the charger and aux?

Man I wish my 09 had Bluetooth for music. I know there was a TSB for it but I was wondering if I can do an easy fix myself to remedy the whining noise you get through the speakers when you use both the aux cord and a charger at the same time while driving.

Works wonderfully for me. Only caveat? Don't have a charger next to the unit when using it - it still picks up a little noise if the switching in the charger is noisy. I have a charger plugged into the cigarette area (underneath radio) and this little unit is tucked away in the console.
