GPS interference in radio on Voyager

Gonzo · 04-07-2013, 08:45 PM

I know it's a long shot - just thought I'd see if anyone has had the same issue:

I have a 2012 Voyager and have my Zumo 660 hooked up to the Nav interface. (the extra set of wires.) Everything works great for a while, then the nav interrups the stereo and I hear static. This happens when I am not actually using the GPS to navigate. Sometimes it does it once and stops, other times it just keeps doing it, making the radio useless. I suspect it may be Kawi trying to make too many things go into the factory radio without actually thinking about conflicts (I have CB and Nav). My solution is to wire a switch to the nav audio wiring to be able to cut off the nav interface when I don't need it and eliminate the interference, but I figured I'd see if anyone with a 12 or 13 has had the problem.

Before anyone says "take it to the dealer", they didn't even know the 2012 came with a Nav interface.

It may be meaningless but I had a GPS/radio conflict issue on a BMW.
The GPS was an older Garmin and the radio was Sirius. The units were mounted close to each other. The radio gave a no signal error.
The fix was a remote GPS antenna.

Not sure what the part number is for the Kawi cable, but there's one on the Kawi website. I made mine from a cable that I got from Radio Shack
