I might be onto something with the Droid noise. I spoke with a few people, one at an electronics shop and one at a car stereo shop, a few days ago about a ground loop isolator I'd read about online. Both told me that would do any good when I described the problem (at least they didn't say "that's normal").
For the heck of it I went by Radio Shack after work today and picked one up and using RCA to 3.5mm cables that I had around the house hooked it up and no buzz, pops or high-pitched squeal with the key on or the bike running. For about the first 30 seconds after starting the bike I could hear the plugs firing through the stereo then it quit and I could not get it to do it again. Hopefully I'll ride to work tommorrow and see how it does.
Funny even the guy at Radio Shack didn't think it would help but he did agree to take it back if it didn't.
I'll post results.

I did receive an email from riders claw asking for help or ideas to make the riders claw for the Droid.
I also learned or figured something out that was kind of cool. If i plug my Blackberry into the radio using the auxiliary and the male (both ends) cord. You can talk through the helmet head sets on an ultra. Not that I would do this while riding, however I did check it out in the garage. I had everything plugged in and called the wife. It worked! Kind of a cool little trick.

I get zero noise from the Droid while riding..on anything running from it. I've had GPS talking to me with Pandora running and even get the 'drrooid' notifications when something comes in. Now I have noticed some cracking lately from the auxiliary plugs at the phone end but its a loose connection from the auxiliary plug not seating fully in the plug. I have another cable from rshack that's basic and it does not have this problem. Thinks some auxiliary cable are somewhat loose in the connections to be getting any background noise from the scoot.

I have to see if I can talk through mine with the headset...that would be awesome!!!
I was playing with my setup last night and I am getting some ground hum into my xm unit which is power hardwired into the lighter that has a better 3.5 cable than the cheap one connected to the droid, I wonder if that might be the key to your problem? maybe try a few different cords??

I just bought an extended life battery from these guys http://www.mygearstore.com/seidio-in...credible-black
use discount code "mygear10", with free shipping it was $40.45. That's cheaper than it was on Amazon. I've read good reviews about this battery on the Droid Forum.
