Heck, I get noise in my car radio when I charge my cell phone and that has been true with all my cell phones.

I have the battery connected to the cig lighter socket for charging, and the iFly 720 connected to the battery and get no noise from the system. Perhaps it's because all the avionics wiring is behind the panel and the iFly wiring is in front? However, the headset wires are very close to the iFly wires.

Do you have your car radio speakers srapped over your ears when charging your phone? I doubt it.

Still dinking around with this. By wiggling the audio cord, which I have plugged into the ifly ear jack to my lightspeed headset ear jack, I can wiggle the interference. (screechy noise) Perhaps I have a crappy cord? Is there any sense of clamping the ferrite devices on the audio cord, or does this not work with audio?

for troubleshooting, i bought some stuff from radio shack. I replaced the short audio cable with gold plated tips, from ifly to lightspeeds, with no help. I tried a new power cord from cig socket to battery, no help. What did make a different, was i plug an a/c power supply into house current, which stepped down to cig plug socket. Then from there into ifly battery. That did clear up the noise. The problem appears to be within the klx 155 radio and ships battery. When I get my 650 installed, I'll have the guy introduce whatever filter he may suggest, to rid of this issue. As for now, I suppose I'll leave the ifly battery as a backup, or deal with the noise. I'm sure I'm not alone. The noise is definetly magnified with anr type headsets.
