Sorry to take so long to respond as I thought I had the solution with a toyota T-SB that was supposed to fix this issue. The guys at my dealership got the part sent in from the US to fit it, did fit it for me, but no change to the interference. so they took it out again and said they don't know what to do next. Its been 2 months and I haven't heard anything from them about a solution. They say, just don't plug it into the charger! Anyway, the noise is only there when using the ipod when it is connected to the power source, ie cigarette lighter. No noise with radio, or CD or ipod without charger. thank you for offering solutions. I will take your suggestions to the dealership service centre and see what happens. Many thanks, Kay

Thank you so much for your post. I have passed on the information to my Toyota dealer and I hope they can follow it through. I am so fed-up with this problem. Thank you again!!! Well, the guys at my Toyota dealership got the US part in especially for me, fitted it in my car, but no change. I think they have given up and think that I shouldn't really complain because to them it is a minor problem. But, I like to use my ipod in the car and I like to keep it charged. I also believe that if a company builds a car with inclusions that don't work then they should rectify the problem. Unsure of what to do next. Any suggestions?

I had a key-lock lug nut installed by Toyota so that the wheel could not be stolen. I think it cost about $60.00 which was a lot cheaper that losing the wheel.

I have read all the info in this topic and am wondering if this would help with my problem. If anyone knows could they please post? Hi, Just wondering if anyone else has the same problem as me and if so, how you might have fixed it. I purchased my ZR6 in December 2007 and right from the beginning have had a noise interference, a whistling noise like an old fashioned radio that is not tuned in correctly, whenever I connect my ipod to the auxilliary input jack in the centre console and also use the power charger cable plugged in to either socket (dash or console). If I remove the power cable there is absolutely no interference, but as soon as it is reconnected the noise is there again. It also gets much louder as I accelerate particularly from a stationery position. I have had the Toyota people look at it but so far no solution. I am pretty upset about this as I feel that if they include an accessory in a car then it should work and I like to use my ipod when I am in the car and need the ability to charge it as I use it.. I would really appreciate hearing from anyone with a similar problem or from someone who has a suggestion about how to fix it. Hope someone out there can offer some assistance. many thanks.
