Tone in sirius radio using aux. input

I have a sirius ST2 receiver. When we put it in our new car using the aux. input and the 12 volt jack for power we got a high pitch tone that got louder when the car sped up or slowed down. It always worked fine when we used a cassette adapter in our old car.
Can anyone offer a solution?

    The audio is is connected through a cable from the audio output to the aux. jack in the car.

    If you plug an Ipod or another audio device in the jack, does the noise still happen?

    It an interference problem. Sometimes the 12 volt adapter does it sometimes its how its wired to the audio. How is the audio from the Sirius unit going into the car?

Do you have a thicker audio cable you can use? It might cut down on the interference that way.

I have a sirius starmate st2 and it goes on but won't stay on and just turns itself off. Is there any way to repair this?

Your power jack needs to be replaced. You can buy a repair service on eBay. You'll need a new power jack if you'd like to repair it yourself, which you'd need to take from another radio.

My ST2 just died. Still picks up all the channels fine but just doesn't output any sound through the 1/8'' minijack. I've only been using it for 5 yrs on my home system, no car, no boom box dock etc. ...

This could be because of an amp, or it could just be a bad solder joint. Unfortunately, it's impossible to find an amp to replace it because sirius does not release a schematic. So, most likely it's irreparable.

If you would like to see if it's a bad solder, just leave it near a heater and plug it in. If it works, that should tell you that you should reflow your radio. Reflowing is easy, just remove the circuit board from the plastics and heat it up to 800-1000 degrees F with a heat gun. Let it cool and reassemble.

No power

You blew a fuse in the car plug. Unscrew the top of the car charger and you will find a fuse inside. You can get replacement fuses at a hardware store or Radioshack.

SIRIUS RADIO

that unit has aux inputs in the back they are rca level inputs.. your "stratus" has an audio output that is a 3.5 mm jack or standard headphone jack, with the appropriate patch cord, you can connect the two devices giving you the best possible sound quality. you would use the aux source on the head unit to listen to sirius. this feature may need to be turned on in the menu.

"buzz" when Sirius receiver is plugged into AUX input of new Camry

Did you have the unit installed at a shop that would have hardwired the power source? It sounds like either your power wire to the sirius unit is connected to a noisy power source (which is why you are picking up the alternator whine), or you have a poor ground connection to the unit. If it was installed at a shop, take it back and have them move the power source to the same wires that the radio gets power from. If you are using your cigarette lighter for power, unfortunately it sounds like your outlet doesn't give you the best source for powering an audio component. You might try stopping by a car audio shop and ask how much it would cost to hardwire the sirius' power to the back of your radio.
