2013 V60 CarPlay DAB issue

tomsteetley · Yesterday, 06:32

I recently installed a CarPlay module.
Everything in regards to that is all working as it should.

However since the install I’m getting terrible DAB interference making it unusable. Which is a shame because I use DAB daily.

Has anyone encountered a similar issue?
I think I might need to open it all up again and maybe try re routing the cables to see if that helps with the interference. I don’t suppose anyone knows which cable belongs to the DAB antenna?

Often the DAB interference is caused by cheap power adaptors - i.e. those cig lighter 12v to 5v USB jobs. If your car play module has one of those, try running it off a USB power bank or a different power supply, to see if the interference stops.

I've certainly experienced that in the past.
This seems slightly different. The module is powered directly from the original head unit.

Just hoping someone else has ran into this issue
