Doies anyone know anything about a static/buzzing noise comoing from the radio when you rev the engine in low gears? I remember having this issue with an old VW scirocco and one fix was wiring a capacitor across the alternator (or something like that, I forget). Any input towards a solid solution would be greatly appreciated.

Thank!

Check your plug wires or theres a condenser on the distributer for static electricity that might need replaced. I had static on the radio and replaced both and the radios great now has no static at all. This was on my 92 mirage so I don't know about your VW but try the same things.

make sure all connections are taped or covered.. also.. keep RCA's away from the Wires *red* *yellow* etc.

come to think about it... it does sound like a ground problem.. one of them might be loose.. or just not connected properly

Do you have after market amps if so it could be alternator whine. Try ground loop isolators on the RCA jacks.
