I plug my Midland MTX-275 external speaker output into my aftermarket (Dual Elect XDM280BT) radio aux input plug. I get a noticeable alternator whine. I get the whine with the GMRS turned on or off. I tried a shielded 3.5mm audio cable and that didn't help.
I do not get the whine if I plug the car aux into my cell phone's 3.5mm output.
I do not get the whine if I unplug the cable from the GMRS.
I tried putting an Install Bay IBNF30 Noise Filter on the GMRS radio but that didn't change anything; still had the whine.
Has anyone had the issue and does anyone else plug the GMRS into the car radio?
