Default hooking up an xbox to my Avic D2

i tried putting my xbox in my car today, and when i hook it up there is a loud buzzing coming out of my speakers. i tried different power inverters and diff vid cables but still get it. my Avox video jukebox works fine. is the xbox drawing too much power from the car or is there something i can do to fix it?

now i tried my xbox and gamecube.. both make the buzzing sound. for ____z and gigglez i tried my old 8 bit NES and that was fine.. no buzzing or anything. i also tried my c64 plug and play controller thing and that was fine. so it has to be something with the power draw you think?

thanks
Brian

its because you're running your power lines next to your rca's. you get engine whine with that.

what you need to do is run your rca's away from your power.

i ended up grounding the outer shielding of the RCA plug and the buzzing went away.. so thats all taken care of...

now, has anyone put an xbox in their tC, where did you end up putting it?
