What are you doing for connecting an iPod/iPhone?
I'm thinking about changing my connection.

Trying to decide what to do.
I'm currently running an Apple composite cable into the BitOne, but I'm getting alternator noise at higher volume.
Do you have a mapping of the Logic7 amp outputs? I feel like I might not have them hooked up, or identified to th BitOne correctly, either.

Bitone is notoriously known for having noise issues. I got rid of mines years ago. I've used pretty much ever dsp out there and currently have the Arc PS8, Helix C-dsp, Mosconi 6to8 and Zapco Z8. Since you have the Logic7 why aren't you using a mobridge DA2?

I have an iPad with optical out which sounds excellent but it won't charge. Plus the iPad is rather cumbersome.
The E60 itself has alternator noise even when I shut down all power to the audio system, which is strange. I don't get noise on the master input but do get it with my iPod aux. I'm sure it's because of the charging connection, but haven't found a solution yet.

Why don't you get a Dension 500? You can also hardwire a charging cable iPod/IPad.
Another option is the Focal Ibox IBox from Focal: New WiFi interface - DIYMA Car Audio Forum I'm thinking about buying one. I heard a car that had it in SBN..It sounded phenomenal!!
I have no alternator noise in my E60. You might want to try this MSD Noise Filters 8830 - Mobile SummitRacing.com

I am using a hardwired Apple charging/composite cable. That's what's giving me the alternator noise right now.

This week I have been testing out my iPad with a Cables To Go dongle that connects via USB and gives an Optical output. It works via the Apple camera adapter. I then use the Optical input on the BitOne. This is by far the best quality connection I have tested on my BitOne. Great sound and zero noise. Only drawbacks are the size of the iPad itself, and the fact that I haven't found a way to charge the iPad in this scenario.

I'm only getting noise on my iPod charging cable into the BitOne Aux Input. The Master input, and the Optical Digital Input do not have any alternator noise.
Is this something that could be used for an Aux input?
I ordered an iStreamer 12V this morning. Will test that out on Thursday when it arrives. I'm hoping this will give me a better solution for connecting iPhone/iPod/iPad to the BitOne while charging the iDevice. And of course, I'm hoping this does better with the noise I'm getting currently on the AUX connection. If it works, then I think I will get the iStreamer installed next week. If not, then I'll just return it and keep searching for an alternative.
