I usually listen to either podcast, e-books or music through CarPlay. Last night on my way home I was listening to the baseball game on the radio and noticed that when I put my blinker on it would cause static on the radio. Every time the blinker would turn on the radio would get slightly staticy. When the blinker went off it stopped. I did install Lasfit LED bulbs so I don't know if that is possibly causing interference.

Has anyone else noticed this happening.

Crappy LEDs can cause interference especially with AM radio. Does this happen with FM?

I would complain to LasFit and ask for a replacement or refund. Is it both directions? If it's only one direction you could narrow down the issue, maybe it's only one bulb.

Lasfit LEDs did the same in my 22. Took them out for that reason and because they were just too damn bright.

I checked this morning and I get static with either direction and it is on FM. I didn't bother trying AM as I will probably never us it anyways.

I'll reach out to Lasfit and see what they say.
