(Just to check the obvious), but have you tried moving the card to a different bay? Does the system have a lot of accessories or a high-power graphics card (enough that adding this card might overload the power supply -- if it's one of Apple's cards, you're a long way from this).I have used this card in a 2010 MacPro without trouble. Good Luck.

I don't know how to help you with WiFi. However for BlueTooth, you could get a different BlueTooth adapter. I got a Medialink USB BlueTooth adapter. You have to download Apple BlueTooth tools. Google "mac bluetooth hardware io tools".

No problems, mine is in a Mac Pro mid 2012, OSX 10.8.5. You might check this link: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5083334

I would go to the Kenwood site and find out if there is a newer firmware version for the BT300 than your current version. I updated mine a while back and have since sold the car it was installed in. As I recall the update was done using a Bluetooth connection between the BT300 and my Bluetooth capable laptop and the whole process was pretty easy following the instructions they gave. Have no idea if they have a Mac version. There are some setup selections in the head units Bluetooth settings that could be affecting your phone connection and as I remember you have to turn off and not allow the connection to playback audio files on your phone or you will have the problem of sporadic phone call capability connection.

What about with a wireless keyboard and mouse? (RF, not bluetooth - those awful bluetooth also use 2.4Ghz and get interference from everything)

No, that's not true. But the tiniest amount of WiFi interference will knock out your connection to this thing. I rarely, if ever, have the same problem with an Apple Airport Express connected to some powered speakers.

I haven't noticed any interference. It is installed in my bedroom and i don't use the computer or phone or TV in there. Not much help I fear.

I have used mine on several computers, in both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 connectors. No problems to report. Just so we are on the same page, do you mean interference issues with other wireless devices on the same computer? Or within the same close vicinity like appliances, cordless phone, etc? I have not had any problems at all with mine.

I have to unplug my wifi router in order to use the Terk. Yes, pain in butt if I want to watch tv in the kitchen. Doesn't matter what channel I select on router to stop any interference it does not work at all.

At first this worked really well but I am having trouble with it now. I have 2 laptops and 1 printer, so 1 of them was always wireless but it stopped working so I tried this and now it has stopped working also. I think the bluetooth on the cell phones interfere with it but am not really sure. It has not really helped me in the end

No. Like someone else said, you have either a cabling issue or a nearby device is causing interference.

Have you guys tried changing the wireless channel? I was having this problem where I was getting poor signal and random disconnects on my MacBook pro when my router was set on channel 11. Ever since I changed I was able to connect and browse w/o disconnects. None of my other devices had this problem though...

I had no problems with the 2.4 or the 5.8 GHz settings with interference of any type on the video and audio, but I did have problems with the 433 MHz IR repeater. I was running two Uniden phone base stations as well. Just couldn't get the IR repeater to work consistently.

Although the facts are covered in the first two answers, I have a few points to add. [1] The amplifier's analog stages are remarkably resistant to picking up interference from a computer environment. I currently have mine hooked up to a "sound card" in an 8 Xeon Macpro, and it does not seem to be bothered by the EMI.[2] If I only have one thing hooked up, I recommend using Input #2. Input #1 has the passthrough on it, and if those outputs are unterminated (have nothing attached), there is a little bit of "antenna effect" for lack of a more appropriate electrical engineering term.[3] The amplifier is double insulated, so you don't need a three wire plug for it.

Gary I did have some interference because I had the device near my video card in a Cooler Master Elite 110 case which was so compact finding clear spot was a challenge. I finally put it on the other side of the case away from the video card. From the front of the elite 110 case I put it front right that had space and few interference. I had tested it with an older D-link USB wifi and it worked with out a problem.

I have a Mac Mini and have wirelessly connected my iTunes library to two sets of speakers in my home. I bought a Creative Labs Sound Blaster system from Amazon. The transmitter fits into my computer (either a mini or a laptop) through a USB port. I then have two receivers plugged into two sound systems that receive my music and transmit it to my amplifiers/speakers. I love the setup since I can use my high quality speakers with my computer music library. If you have a fairly powerful router or cell phone signal booster, you may get some interference with the music transmission; I unplug my router to eliminate interference while listening to music.

you definitley could experience interference from other RF signals. I did research online and read that people had problems from other component remotes or neighbor's garage door openers. I did not have luck with an RF remote. We bought a logitech remote and had to run a wire to extend the base unit to the eye ball that sits on top of your tv. The wire was extremely cheap from amazon ($2 for 25 feet). I had my contractor who worked on my kitchen run the wire through the wall for me. My setup was a little more complicated. TV was hung on a wall in the family room and all components were in a laundry room close by but the two rooms did not share a wall. Good luck.

I am using it on Macbook pro and connected through USB port. Should not conflict with your wireless bluetooth as it is connected through USB port.

Hello Mr. Sampson, although I don't have knowledge about interference, however as for user friendly and as a quality device, I strongly recommend you purchasing it, well worth the money and my students love it as well.
