No, No noises, AM doesn't come in but that's probably an antenna issue I haven't fixed yet

Since mine is an 02 I don't have the MOST and don't have to worry about the adapter. Rod at CAI was really nice and helped walk me through it. He's convinced me to go with a Kenwood DMX907S instead of the ATOT. I really didn't want to try the ATOTO S8 Premium android unit for $350 vs the Kenwood for $850, but he's insisted it won't sound as good and the cheap units are so glitchy. Though I have ready a lot of reviews on the Kenwood that wireless Android auto disconnects a lot. There's a cheaper Kenwood DMX706S ($550) that's not android/car play wireless and can't do HD radio stations. Neither of those things are a big deal to me, but it also doesn't have a GPS for offline navigation.

I have the same problem as you (electrical noise) but only when my head unit is turned off. If it is powered on the sound goes away, even with the volume all the way down. I always have the radio on, so it doesn't bother me much but I'd still like to fix it.

it's so weird, if the unit is on but the volume is zero, i don't hear it... once the volume is turned up i can hear a slight electrical noise... it's worse when the music is low volume but not loud enough to drown out the whine... i have to try next time with it off... i wonder if it's my aftermarket amps, but i haven't had time to take everything apart and start isolating... i bought a few filters as well to try...
