Radio Hissing/whining

Hello All

I just purschased an 04 TL with 55k miles and I noticed there is a hissing/whining sound with the radio and even when playing a DVD. It sounds like a bad ground because when I accelerate, it get's louder. Also, if the volume is at 0, the hissing goes away, but if I turn it up one the hissing is present. I also think I have a weak battery- could that be causing the problem?

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Sounds like a bad ground. My iSimple does the same thing if I have my XM set to AUX and my phone isn't plugged into the cable.
