Whine/hiss with clip Jam in car stereo Auc

OK,

I got a second cable. It is somewhat better. There is still a sound on the right channel, but quieter. More of a steady vinyl like hiss as opposed the AM radio-like whirring noise with the original cable.In both cases the sound goes away when the Jam is powered off.

Since it’s only in the car I’ll try to convince myself that it’s tolerable. Still-- suggestions are welcome.

Thanks everyone!
