Hi when i use the headphone jack out to jack in on my cars head unit(ripspeed mini dvd player), it works fine but when i plug the charge wire in it gets louder (which is good spose) but it stutters and jumps any ideas?

The bat wont be lasting long if i cant solve this its not an official cable but it was an expensive retractable multi device charge wire utilising usb and diff heads and works perfectly with maps etc - the problem doesnt occur in the house using the wall charger, ive just done the 4.1.2 jb also dunno if theres an issue with that as this was the first time ive tried doing this..
 
There is a known problem when BOTH the USB cable is plugged in to charge the phone and you're playing audio through the Aux jack. IT's known as a ground loop -- and it affected my GS3, too.

The link below is to a device you can buy and plug inline:

PAC Ground Loop Isolator for 3.5 MM Applications : Amazon.com : Automotive

I found that it helped somewhat, but it didn't completely fix the problem.
