......or is it just mine???????

The neighbours go mad....as soon as I come round the corner they all lose satalite signal. I cant wash my car with the radio on as it seems to be some kind of interferance with my ignition.
The senario is such:-

1. Car locked up and alarmed on drive - no problem
2. Ignition switched to first position (radio off)- No satalite signal received within a 30meter radius
3. Engine running - same as above

At first I thought it was something to do with my radio / amp, but with radio switched off (and amp) it still causes problems.

I ain't too bothered about spoiling anybody else viewing pleasure and obviously it doesnt affect me (think about it - i'm in the car, not the front room watching TV!)...but could this interference be causing me health problems??????

So, is it just mine then or does your Impreza do the same???

Car doesn't do it, but Snooper radar detector does! Thought they were supposed to detect radar nor emit it!!

Get some spoiler lifters,then you can actually transmit the signal rather than interupt it....

AAAAAAaaaaaarrrr!!!!!

Yes, I can confirm i have a snooper. I was convinced it was my scoobies ignition or something elctrical.

I didn't think it was legal to manufacter products that cause radio interferance????

Thanks guy's, I will sleep at night now

believe the s5 wasnt stocked by halfords for a period while they sorted this. i have an s5 and have had no complaints but there's been plenty of threads about it.

seem to recall a story about a harriers weapons system lockin onto a car with an s5 in it somewhere, lol...
