Default Audio - Ground loop

I've installed headrest DVD monitors in a 2002 Chevrolet suburban with audio through an Fm modulator. I'm getting a ground loop on the audio side, not visible on the video side.
The 12V+ is through the Audio 2 circuit in the fuse block.
Any suggestion on a ground point under the dash or in the center console?
I've tried grounding the framing for the dash itself and to a bolt holding the drivers side seat down. And am still getting alternator whine.

Thanks in advance,

Derek

Default RE: Audio - Ground loop

what type ofheadrests did you buy? how much money?.....cheap units will give you nothing but problems.
Your ground should be into the body of the vehicle using a self tapping screw, with the paint scratched off. If that doesn't fix it, look for a pinched wire, or try another fm modulator
