xm roady 2 installed....but have 1 issue.
got my roady 2 installed last month so i could listen to Opie and Anthony again. Love the unit cause of its size. The only issue i have is that when i accelerate hard there is a whistling sound when i have my sat. radio on. The harder i accelerate the louder the whistling sound is. I am guessing its a install issue, but has anyone encountered this before?

I'm not sure what it is but I have the same thing when my in dash TV is on. It sounds like wind is getting in through a window that is cracked open or something. I always wondered if I could make it stop. Probably some frequency ****.

O&A got canned in Boston for telling their listeners the mayor died and got canned in NYC for having a contest where listeners would have sex in public plaes and one couple had sex in St. Patties cathedral, it was all down hill from there for them.

onetoughmax i install for CC and i challenge you to an e-battle to see who does better installs ![Smilie](https://maxima.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
my e-**** is bigger than yours
anyway, back on topic, they will not charge you to fix whatever is wrong with it but they cannot give you a refund for labor that has already been performed. good luck

Who the he|l told u this???
First off, to answer your question, the hardwired fm modulator will not help the whistle if there is still a bad ground. The hardwired fm modulator will greatly help your static and clarity however. If I was paying per month for my music, I would definitely want it to sound good, trust me hardwired is the way to go.
Second, there are plenty of fm modulators out that will work. If you have a stock radio you will need 2 antenna adapters, because the hardwired modulator will have an antenna input from the car, and an output to the radio. Other than that, give it power, ground, and connect it to the microjack (headphone jack) output on the side of the roady and you will be good to go.
Hope this helps

the inline FM Modulator for the SkiFi2/SkiFi2 can be used with the Roady2, I'm an installer for circuit city too. Had to do this on a 540i cause he was getting too much static. Funny tho, i've never encountered alternator whine with any DSR install. Take it back and have'em try a new ground and see what happens, make sure they didn't cut the power plug off (since it takes a 6v input). I strongly suggest the in-line fm-modulator though...much cleaner sound imo.
