Does it only happen when the ipod is also plugged into the power port?

it's a ground loop.

There's a TSIB that fixes the AUX port for that specific issue, your dealer should it free under warranty.

wow, people were right. using a dock to bypass the headphone jack of the ipod produces much better sound quality.

Use it for the IPOD and it whistles with engine RPMs.

Yeah, if you want audio from the dock connector AND the ability to charge at the same time you'll need to spend a bit more on the interface (ones that do both are probably more like 30-50 bucks)

Always use mine, bought a cord similar to some posted here and there is no problem with arm rest.

I think the sound it perfect, as good if not better than a CD
