I have a Nesa dash mounted DVD player in my S1 Stagea that transmits audio to an old JVC HU on an FM freq via a modulator with a lot of engine noise. The noise (whine) rises and falls with revs so I am pretty sure it is alternator interference, but the confusing bit is that the noise is only when the dvd player is on (playing or not) and not when the HU is playing radio.

I have tried a 5 amp supressor (no amps or such at this stage) on the FM modulator but it hasn't made any difference so I am at a bit of a loss as where to go next, any suggestions would be appreciated.

No, thats the really annoying part about it - the whine is only eveident when I am using the dvd player.

The HU is an older model that has a (unused) tape deck - I use the dvd player for my cd's

Only problem with that, is the dvd player doesn't have any speaker level out - it is transmitting to the head unit via a fm modulator (that I connected the noise supressor to) and the HU amps it up and puts it out to the speakers. Also, the dvd player doesn't have a tuner so I am still using the HU for the radio - its only the tape deck thats unused.

Does anyone out there have any good reason why I shouldn't just go and buy 2 more noise supressors and put one on the power to the dvd player and one on the power to the head unit? I know it may be overkill, but thats how p1ssed off I am getting. I have never seen a setup produce this much noise without any amps or anything..

Where'd you plug the power from?

Test it's not the power supply by running a wire (with appropriate fuse) straight to the power. It might be needing more current for dvd mode than you're giving it.

Also make sure your ground is the same gauge as the power you're giving the unit. ...

Suppressors are a band aid fix from how I see it.

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
