Blue Tooth Kit

[cqae]

Hope someone can give me some advice. I recently fitted a nokia ck-7w bluetooth phone kit to a super pursuit ute. I have installed many of these including my own with no problems. However, this one has a lot of engine noise throught the speakers when driving. It is quite loud & not good enough to leave as it is. The phone plug you usually connect to is a little different though. It actually has another plug in it that runs off somewhere, & has a piggy back so there is a usable plug for the phone. I assume this is to power up another accessory. I am thinking of putting in a noise surpressor, but am unsure if I should put it right at the phone wires?

hoping one of you radio super heroes will have the answer for me.

by the way, this guys super prusuit is pretty cool, but give me a T anyday!

I have the same kit with no problems at all.

I would suggest trying to get a better earth and not use the one on the fusebox. Try to find a bolt or screw that goes into the metal of the car.

If that does not fix the problem, you may need to put an inline filter on your alternator

the piggyback you refer to is standard on all FPV's (as far as I can tell). As for the noise, check the chasis ground strap from the engine and battery are clean and making GOOD contact (dont just buzz it out, you need to unbolt it, cleck/clean and rebolt). if this still doesnt fix the problem, then run the ground from the car kit directly to a GOOD grounding point under the dash (there are several there, one example is the silver bolt in the fuse panel).

If that doesnt work then I'll eat this post
