I'm doing the latter, which makes any sort of hiss much more apparent. Like you said, when the car is running, with engine and road noise, the hissing pretty much gets drowned out. But with the ignition off, it's a slap in the face

My suggestion is to remove the OEM HU, unplug the Quadralock in the back, and take a close look at pin 12 (ground). Make sure that the radio pins and the Quadralock pins are having a solid contact without any wiggling.

Thanks for chiming in. I was worried I'd have to remove the HU. Sigh...I guess I'll have to tackle that when I have the time, just to be completely sure. How hard is this to do?
