That is true, I have the same problem when I use my Cell phone to feed the AUX-IN on either my motor home or the car..
now in the case of the car, there is no direct electrical connection so I know it's not a ground loop, but on the MH, could be.. Hey, thanks for making me think of that, I may be able to FIX the car. (Common mode I can kill).
I also have that same issue when I run my Ham Radio using my compter and the direct DC/DC converter for the compuer.. No problem when I use the 120 volt and fully isolate.
If you are using a car charger at the same time then you WILL experience a ground loop problem.
Not all car chargers break the ground...
I would suggest trying to insert a ground loop isolator between the cell phone and radio input jack..
