Hi,

Doubt its got anything to do with the aerial if the hiss is there when playing a CD as that selects a different signal source to the radio.

Has anything been done to the radio unit or car electrics recently ?

You could check the power and speaker connections at the back of the head unit are good.

Does the hiss come from all Speakers or just one side - try the balance control to prove this.

Hi, the hiss comes from all the Speakers . I did add an x-car link to the system recently but thought as the hiss was when playing a cd too that this wasnt the cause.

Hi,

..so what happens when you unplug the x-link fully ?

i'll have to check that out ,will need to remove the radio for that .
