Just wondered did anyone else experience interference on dab radio with having a USB connected into the cigarette lighter?
Weird as it seems but I nearly lose all dab signal when its connected and perfect signal when I remove it
Anyone else experience this?

Mine cuts out when USB wireless charger is used (DAB OK when plugged in - DAB not OK when wireless charging active).

Yeah my Golf would cut out when charging ipad in the car but wierdly not my phone, as above as well the BMW demister was always an issue when I worked there too, mainly because the aerial diversity was at the top of the rear screen.

It's a very common problem - the DAB signal is very low level and the 12v-USB device might be spouting a lot of EMI
