The RCA's that the sony adapter came with are 2 meters ( way too long for me but im really low on $). I was thinking this would pick up noise but if I turn my sony deck to full (in the aux in mode) and dont have the empeg in there is no engine noise. Once I put the empeg in the noise comes on, you can't tell too much when a song is playing, but when its on pause my car sounds like a jet engine. I would think that if its the wires doing it, it would pick up the noise with the empeg out of my dash as well when i have it in aux in mode.
