Agree with previous post, don't use the headphone jack, it is garbage. Get the adaptor that plugs into the dock connector. You'll notice the differernce.

monster cable carcharger plus head phone jack through dock connector. plug into power source under the arm rest.
http://www.amazon.com/Monster-Cable-...0944990&sr=8-5

attached to monster cable jack 3.5 male-male belkin which then is then connected into an RCA noise filter that connects to the aux port.

3.5 stereo jack from the connection of the monster cable plugs into this:

can charge it, plus use the doc connection for better clarity and remove all of the buzzing/hissing/wining sound.

thats my set up and it works perfectly

whats the loop isolator? how do i do that ? can you specify pls

if it doesnt work ill try purchasing a docking wire to 3.5mm.

i tried changing the volume limit on the ipod and sound check but still turn the volume on ipod to max and stereo to max its only playing like it would be at volume level 15. I like to play my music loud like 40-50 volume setting.
thanks for all the responses.

You only need the filter provided by the TSIB or the ground loop isolator if you are charging the iPod while listening to it. If you aren't using a charging cable, it won't help you.

I agree with the others that a cable that uses the iPod dock connector like the RAM-Din (lower cost alternatives can often be found on eBay) results in noticeably better sound than a headphone cable. That said, I did use the headphone cable before I got my dock cable, and didn't experience the problems you are having.

read my post above you and click on the links, you should see what u need including the ground loop isolator.

and the IS's volume on low volume is very low for me, all toyota's seem like that to me though.
