You would probably want the ground loop isolator mentioned earlier in the thread to eliminate engine noise from the AUX input.
Can't figure out why that input wasn't properly grounded/isolated from the factory since these are luxury cars. Same with the placement of the power adapter in the center console box, should've been mounted about an inch lower so any type of lighter adapter can be used with the console shut. Sorry about the brief whining there been playing around in the center console yesterday and it was a little frustrating - tons of room in there tho.

Yes, I was one the one who orginally used the SIK adapter and you do need the ground loop isolator. Without it you'll get the high pitched whining sound. I have since gone to a direct connection (using the DICE unit) which works and sounds great - bought it for 200 and paid another 75 for installation. But I understand not everyone may want to go that route.
