I have found the cheapo stereos to pick up noise very easily. I have
a cheapo stereo and the noise was really bad, I put a 150,000 uF
capacitor across it, one of those beasts found in a computer power
supply. It is the size of a tall boy beer can. I strapped it on the
passenger side of the car and when a neophyte rides with me they
invariably ask 'whats this thing?';I tell them,'just don't touch it!'
