I have radio interference when the dash cam is plugged inUpdated 2 months ago

If you’re experiencing radio interference, try the following steps to diagnose and reduce the issue:

• Unplug the rear camera
  Check whether the interference goes away when the rear camera is disconnected. If it does, the rear camera or its cable routing may be interacting with the vehicle’s antenna system.

• Be aware of rear glass antenna wiring
  Many vehicles have the radio antenna wiring embedded in the rear windscreen glass. When mounting the rear camera, it’s important to position it away from these antenna traces, as placing the camera or cable too close can cause interference.

• Check the wiring route
  Make sure the dash cam cables are not running alongside or parallel to antenna wiring. If they are, reroute the cables along a different path where possible.

• Reposition the rear camera
  Moving the rear camera to a different location on the rear windscreen can often reduce or eliminate interference, especially if it’s currently mounted near antenna lines.

• Use ferrite cores
  Clip-on ferrite noise suppressors fitted to the power cable and rear camera cable can help reduce electromagnetic interference.

• Try a different power source
  If you’re using the 12V cigarette lighter plug, test with a hardwire kit instead. Some power adapters can introduce electrical noise.

• Ensure all connections are secure
  Loose connectors or poor grounding can contribute to interference. Double-check that all connections are fully seated and secure.

• Test in another vehicle if possible
  This can help determine whether the interference is specific to the vehicle’s antenna layout rather than the dash cam itself.
