Ipod Problem

I just made a 600 mile trip today. Most of it was over 80mph. I noticed as usual i had a weird background hum with every single song that was played on my ipod. I have the integration. THe song would start up great for each song about 3 seconds or so..then i would get the distortion. I dont know if it was the engine coming through or what not. Tried the search function and didnt find anything on this. And of course i had to have the volume up which made it worse. Any help would be appreciated

im not very mechanically inclined and the mercedes people installed the adapter. WHere exactly would i connect it since the only wires visible are the ones that connect to my ipod.

I don't know how you can connect a ground loop isolator to the integration kit. I'd have MB take a look at it. But before you do, try another iPod and confirm the problem continues otherwise MB might just blame your iPod.
