Hi guys,
Ever since I fitted my wideband AFR gauge it has caused radio reception issues, the audio is perfectly fine if I run from a USB or AUX, and that is what I have done until now, but I got sick of it on a long drive on the weekend.
The interference occurs whether the engine is running or not.
Has anyone else come accross this problem?
My wideband is an Innovate MTX-L. The head unit is a pioneer double din touchscreen and it only uses a single aerial input, but I am not sure where that aerial is... Rear windows?
The wiring runs through a grommet where the clutch would go in a manual and runs along the back of the ECU stack to the gauge in the glovebox.
I have it using the ciggy lighter plug as a power source and grounding through a chassis bolt that the factory wiring also uses as a ground.
I have tried changing power source, grounding location, adding a ground to the earth that goes directly to the sensor (rather than thru the gauge) and no success. I have also tried running the gauge in the drivers footwell so it goes no where near the head unit and associated wiring, straight thru the firewall and onto the floor.
This is doing my head in, anyone got any ideas other than 'Check your grounding' that I get from a google search on the issue?
Thanks,
