Static when listening to music in car

silvereagle1988

I was using the headphone jack and using a cable to the aux input jack in my car.  I connected the phone to the car charger and plugged it into the cigarette lighter/aux charger input.     Whenever I was listening to Pandora or music from SD card while the car was running I was getting static and general noises from the car engine.  If I unhooked the car charger the noise would go away but when plugged back in the noise would return.

I went to my local Verizon store and they said that Verizon did not have a filter for this problem.

I went to Radio Shack and they have a product that costs about $3 to cure this problem.  It is called a "Snap choke Core".   It is a little piece of plastic that snaps over your car charger cable.   Two come in a package.   Two were needed on one car charger cable.   There is no rewiring or anything... just a simple snap of plastic. 

It helps prevent electric magnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI).   It snaps over the coax, audio or AC Cord.

I got a18x29 5x5 5mm ferrite core.

The Radio Shack bar code is 0 40293 64760 6
