Dashcam Radio Interference
Posted: Fri Apr 29, 2022 7:27 pm
Hi guys,
So this has been driving me absolutely made today. I've been trying to fit a front and rear dashcam to my 5th gen BB8, but no matter how I fit it, my DAB radio reception goes out the window. I know that the radio antenna is built into the rear window, meaning the wire for it must run up the A-pillar, but it seems that no matter where I run the wire the result is the same. I've tried both pillars, as well as mounting the camera low down and running the cable behind the dash, but no joy. I've also tried loads of those ferrite core things on the wire, but they do absolutely sod all too. This is all before even trying to fit the rear one!
So I'm at a loss, is it the camera? It's fairly new, just a generic one from amazon. Or are Ludes just not destined to have dashcams fitted? I'll have to do without if I can't get it to work as I need my radio!
Cheers
Chris
