Radio interference from DRLs on 1200RT
Posted: Thu Feb 08, 2024 1:12 pm
My motorcycle...2015 BMW R1200RT LC.
I have fitted some cheap LED after market additional DRL lights to my bikes engine bars.A kit from Amazon complete with wiring harnes, relay and switch.
They work fine, however if the DRLs are turned on they interfere with the bikes factory fitted radio, as in no radio stations just interferance noise.Turn the DRLs off and the radio reception is fine. If I disconect the DRLs the radio reception is fine.
I assume the cheap LED lights are the problem.
Has anyone had the same problem and resolved it?
If I were to purchase some better DRLs, without buying the BMW lights (out of my budget)what do I need to look for? I assume quality LED chips but some are a Cree type, is that what I need?
All I need is to have DRLs on and listen to the radio.
