Ipod Vidoe and background static
Well I found out what was causing the hissing sound with my ipod. I noticed that at first when the car was started the hissing was not there, even though I had the ipod already plugged in. This led me to think that maybe the ipod was trying to do 2 things at once and that maybe that was the background static i was getting. I do have the new ipod video, so I thought let me play around with it and see. Well when I touched the iopd and the backlight came on, guess what NO background STATIC 
SO I was like ahh ok, for some reason with my ipod, having the background light off creates some kind of feedback that causes background static when the ipod is playing. Well I set my ipod to have the backlight stay on continuously, and the noise is all gone, problem solved! 
Sunman thinks that maybe the MB/ipod folks didn't test the new ipod video's with the kit, and that maybe that's why I was getting static in the background with the backlight off, Oh well, as long as the static is gone, I am happy!

I have a nano and I used to use it just straight into my AUX Input with no static and no problems except it wasn't as loud as I liked...
I got the Belkin Auto Kit (http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProdu...duct_ID=193794) and it's louder and a good part of the time it sounds better but it has that annoying static!

I was hoping that leaving the backlight on would help ya. Sorry, I don't know what to tell ya. See if you can find any time that the static is not there. That's what I did, and I noticed that there were certain times when it wasn't there, like when the ipod first started up. I thought that's crazy, you would think the noise would be there as soon as the ipod starts, but not true for me. Then I began to play around and that's how I found that the screen on mine was causing the feedback noise. Could be your cd changer causing the noise, or disc on your command also.

I use a monster ipod tape adapter and i get no static and i can turn it up loud.It only costs about 20 bucks. praise the Lord. I can worship Jesus loud. On;y thing the wire has to go in the corner of tape deck. and the deck has to be closed to play. I have tried fm transmitters and there no good. I have video ipod. I do wont to get a kit but I have a 2004.
PS you have to pull wire a bit to eject tape and it has to be on side 2 but it doesnt hurt it
