03 Accord Nav/Sirius/Aux Input - I have noise!
I had a Sirius Starmate Replay installed with a PIE Aux Interface on my 03 Accord.
All works fine - pressing the CD button one brings up the in-dash CD changer, pressing again brings up CD-C (obviously for a auxiliary changer).
However, from day one there is both a high pitched whine and lower pitched rumble that is present and changes as the accellerator is pressed and released. You can hear is clearly when the Sirius unit is on, and even more clear (obviously) when the unit is powered off.
The place where I had the install done told me I needed a "noise filter". I'm just thinking it is poor grounding.
Any thoughts??

Try a factory ground, maybe?
I installed a Sirius Starbase in my g/f's 05 Accord LXSE coupe. I used the factory ground located behind the doored radio dash pocket, to the right. No noise problems.
