Hi
I'm own a VW MK7 Golf SV and some time ago fitted a G1WH from SpyTec, to the inside top of the rear hatch. It has worked well, but a few days ago decided to give the DAB part of the radio a try out and found it did not work. After much testing the fault is with the G1WH, power can come from any of the 12v sockets the car has or even a battery pack. Once the working G1WH gets within about 3 feet of the rear screen the DAB radio dies. I also tested various USB leads with and without ferrite ring cores attached and several 12v to 5v adaptors.
The radio interference that the G1WH is radiating would seem to be the problem, is this just the G1 range or does it affect all or most dashcams? Has anyone fitted a dashcam to a similar setup and not had problems with the car radio FM/DAB? What would be the make/model of the dashcam?
Last I note the local VW dealers are selling Nextbase range, would anyone know if those have a similar problem, hopefully VW would not be selling them if they had.
Thanks
Just checked with local VW dealers and they have no idea if the Nextbase they sell will kill the DAB radio, they only have two in stock and have never fitted one to the rear screen.
