How are people re-attaching the tether? I tried placing it back through the original hole, but it won't fit due to the larger size of the new hinge. Attempting to place it in the through the middle hole doesn't work either, as it interferes with the opening & closing motion of the piece.

Any suggestions?

Awesome, thanks!

Could someone school me in how to go about removing the tether? I've tried pulling, pushing... no dice, and I'd rather keep it so I can re-insert it once the hinge is back in place.

A source of ground loop noise can be as simple as the re-routing of the audio signal wires. I have found moving the iPod connector cable around can make the whine go away.

I just updated my iPod/Becker aux-in rig with the Blitzsafe Universal iPod/iPhone adapter in combination with a ground loop isolator between the adapter and the Becker aux-in cable. This setup has completely eliminated all of the ground loop noise I had with my old iPod rig.

I also found that the 2 best ground points for this sort of stuff are either the telephone power wiring connector under the front center console, or one of the mounting lugs for the airbag controller, also under the front center console.

Do you have any pictures, or marked up already available pictures showing where you've grounded them out? I think I grounded mine out on the telephone connector, but it has been a while since I've had everything torn apart.

When you say "completely eliminated", do you hear anything (as far as whine related to the alternator) when your ipod is turned off and the audio source is still set to aux?

Hi all, I'm hoping someone here can help me out.

A couple of months ago I integrated the aux-in kit from Becker with my audio system (CDR220). When I first put everything together I had the awful alternator whine, and so I went out and got a ground loop isolator. It sounded a lot better so I put everything back together and kind of forgot about it. However, over the last bit I've noticed the whine more and more, and even though it isn't "awful", it isn't great. I've searched on the net to find out where the actual grounding wire is actually grounded out but haven't been able to find anything on the subject.

My thinking is if I can connect to the same grounding source as the rest of the system, the whine will be completely eliminated?

Is my logic sound, and if it is, does anyone know how I can use the same grounding source?

Thanks

You need to find a new dealer - I think they might be incompetent.

Havoline® DEX-COOL® Extended Life Anti-Freeze/Coolant

Are both ok for 9x6 series Porsches.

Loren, what makes a coolant 'ok' or 'not ok' for a 996?
