I"m still tracking down the source of my alternator whine. I have concluded that the whine has nothing to do with the Adapter line and the CDR 220 set to Aux and a Pioneer Inno (XM Sat).

- With the Inno on its own battery, I get no whine.
- With the power cord plugged into the cig lighter, that creates the whine.

I've been running on the battery till it gets low, then I plug in the power cord and live with the whine till the battery is charged. Its really disapointing.
