i am getting an electrical buzzing noise in my headset when i have my autocom and zumo switched on at the same time. if i turn the zumo off the noise goes away and everything is nice and quiet till i turn the zumo back on.when the zumo is powered up, everything works ok, getting direction and music but i just get this background whine. think i read somewhere it is the way both units are wired up so if someone could tell me the best way to do it i could go out to the garage with a huge hammer and start the delicate job of fixing the problem.if its not a wiring problem, is there anything i can buy and add to the system to cure the problem? i have my zumo 660 powed from the canbus plug at the headstock and my autocom powered from the aux plug just below the riders seat. i am sure i read somewhere something to do with ground loop problems with the canbus system but cant remember where i read it and didnt really understand it. if anyone can offer some advise on how to cure the problem or rewire the sytem i would be bery grateful. many thanks in advance

If you have the Zumo directly connected to the Autocom, and are not using a ground loop isolator, see this thread.

Since you have a bike powered device (GPS), and the Autocom is also bike powered, you'll need an isolation lead for each device.
