Using a internal windscreen antenna. i noticed recently that after I bought a marbella GPS in my car, the radio reception sometimes a little bit hazy... When I switch it off, it becomes very clear again... But the haziness only a little bit once a while so still ok. Then just recently I gotten a in car camera.. its those type which switches on when I start car and shut down auto when I switch off car... When the in car camera is on, the radio becomes very hazy and reception super poor... it gets so irritating that I switch the radio off... Any brothers encountered this before and what is the solution? I tried going to an audio shop and they ask me change the windscreen antenna to try so i changed to a new one cause the old one used for 6 yrs liao.. still the same with the new antenna... Reception is good if I switch off in car camera... ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batlim 1st Gear April 13, 2013 Share April 13, 2013 It is call RF interference, all electronic equipment have this - so if u need to solve the issue change the equipment concern, otherwise you have to live with the disturbance. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reception is good if I switch off in car camera... I also hv this. But only in mscp n places wh poor reception. Once i move out reception is normal. Maybe yr radio n gps draw power fm same circuit so got intereference cos i doubt gps transmit any signal to interfere wh radio reception. U can try to draw power fm different source fr e gps n see if it improves. Anyway once i move out fm cp lot....my radio is clear again so no issue fr me. Oh n mine also marbella. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
QQDreamer 4th Gear April 14, 2013 Share April 14, 2013 power static influence the reception. previously when i DIY install my car DVR i have this reception problem. after that i isolate the wiring making sure that the power cable doesn't touch the antena cable now everything is fine and normal. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reception is good if I switch off in car camera... Is there any way for your radio antenna to be fixed to rear windscreen ? Many European cars radio antenna are together with rear windscreen heater. Since the installer smoke you to change antenna and no improvement, he should take some action. By the way, old 30 years antenna function the same as a new one (assuming no technology change). Or at least put your radio antenna in a different side from your GPS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrid 4th Gear March 4, 2014 Share March 4, 2014 (edited) RFI and EMI combi. Poor isolation design of your GPS module is the likely cause. Edited March 4, 2014 by Astrid Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amorail Neutral Newbie July 27, 2016 Share July 27, 2016 Anyone know where to fix the bad radio reception issue. I called up soon lee audio and they said they dun fix external roof top antenna Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple-Tree 6th Gear July 27, 2016 Share July 27, 2016 I usually ownself fix radio issue - Either the ICE is broken (once, ownself change ICE) or Antenna Broken (VI and ownself change). Wiring is very robust and never failed before lor. Anyway, of all the radio channel we can detect in SG, I found this channel 99.9 MHz FM988 provide an accurate Real time clock data. Enable RDS - European, EU. Enable Clock Tune. It will update the ICE clock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
