Not the prettiest little device, but definitely does the job it was purchased for. Super simple install (inline to the AUX jack) and instant results. For reference, this is being used on a 2009 Mazda 3 with the infamous whine induced by having a device (phone in this instance) plugged into AUX audio port and charging from a 12v car charger at the same time. The PAC SNI-1/3.5 has been in place for about a year now and still works like a champ. This is a must-have to eliminate alternator whine.

My Toyota Rav-4 came with an ipod jack, but I rarely used it because there was an annoying hum through the speakers every time I did. Fortunately, I stumbled on some information online that led me to the Rav4World.com website where I learned of the existence of the PAC SNI-1/3.5 so I bought one, and it solved the problem instantly!

I bought the loop for my XM radio which had horrible static. After the loop the sound quality is crystal clear.

After doing research on how to eliminate the ground loop hum/buzz I was getting on my SoundWorks amplified 2.1 speaker system connected to an Iogear Miniview DVI 4-Port USB KVM Switch I decided to give this product a try. I checked online and found that it was available for an excellent price at Sonix Electronix. I ordered four of them, one for each computer connection. Installing them on each of the audio outputs of the KVM completely resolved the problem - NO MORE HUM/BUZZ! I highly recommend this product and have done so already to Iogear's technical support.

I bought this filter for hooking up my smartphone to my aux input in my car's stereo system. I was getting constant very bad noise when I listened to music on Pandora through my car system (I think the noise is from the processor in my phone). This filter took almost all of the noise away and I am able to enjoy my music. I do, still, however get these little high frequencies pitches of noise which aren't so bad and I can live with them.
