Situation:
Kenwood CD player was vandalised and broken.
Replacement Pioneer unit is installed but there's a crackle when ignition is on.
From the searches I've done this appears to be coming from outputs at the Dizzy and Alternator, possibly the spark plugs too, thanks to having wires instead of modern carbon connectors.
However, the Kenwood stereo worked just fine. I even intercepted the power lead on the new one and put in the capacitor from the Kenwood (on a mate's advice) but that failed to have any effect.
Is this simply a capacitor issue? I'm no electrician so I'm not entirely sure of the concepts involved here. Would a cpacitor be required at each of the offending units? I don't want to have to change all the wires out unless I have to.
Advice appreciated.
