Radio Interferance

ifti

Hi,
we have a after market kenwood stereo fitted but when we listen to AM only it makes a tick tick noise. its only with AM, FM and the CD Changer are fine

does anyone know what the problem might be and how to fix it

the car is a VW Polo '00

thanks in advance

The ignition probably needs supressing - I assume the ticking increases with the revs?

You probably also need an aerial seperator (like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-SKODA-SEAT-AMPLIFIED-SIGNAL-BOOSTER-AERIAL-LEAD-NEW_W0QQitemZ260429186466QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Cars_Parts_Vehicles_Terminals_Cabling_ET?hash=item3ca2ca05a2&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C72%3A1683%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50) to work the aerial amplifier. Common problem with VW.
