hp100425ev Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Has anyone with a new Clubman found any interference on the radio reception? Only occurs when one of the LED strip lights that can be dimmed through the dimmer button on the panel above the door is switched on (ie over front and rear lockers under front pelmets and under fixed bed, and the perimeter led's around the skyview roof light). Would appear therefore to be caused by the dimmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodentop Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Are we talking FM or AM here. If the latter then it may well be associated with extra current draw making the switched mode power supply radiated even more interference than they usually do. Also if, like my Bailey, the radio is fed off the TV aerial then it effectively has no AM aerial and it is working on random pickup. If FM is the problem then it would suggest a poor connection to the screened cable feeding the signal to the radio. If the source is a Status 5xx series directional remember that radio may not be coming from the same transmitter site as the TV signal so your signal will not be optimum. One thing is certain - it will not be getting up the power cables as they are very well filtered inside the radio - unless of course the radio has a poor earth connection. Try removing the aerial and see if the radio still switches on. 2018 Passat B8 Estate 150GT TDi150 towing a 2018 Bailey Unicorn S4 Seville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hp100425ev Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) Thanks to a very helpful chappie at Sergants in their technical team, problem now seems to be solved. There are facilities available within the overdoor panel that the handbooks do not mention, and one of those allowed adjustment to the frequency of the dimmer. Reducing it from normal to low seems to have removed the interference. Many thanks to Sergants. Edited November 24, 2014 by hp100425ev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
