Is the magnetic field likely to interfere with a cell phone signal? I need a way to trigger traffic lights on a motorcycle without disturbing my phone

I've not tested that, but I assume the magnets will be under your bike, and your cell will be in your pocket, about 4 feet or more apart? If so, you won't have a problem, I've used my cell with the magnets on the table in front of me, less than 2' away, without any interference. Let me know if it triggers the lights, I may try that too. Ride safe!

No. So far I had no problems with that. Also, magnets are quite strong and they will keep your phone safe while riding!

Yes; wherever you are (legally) traveling at high speeds on a motorcycle, you would want to use the Bluetooth connection with your smartphone so that the phone transmits alerts (such as construction zone ahead) over your helmet transceiver/headphone system.

It will interfere with your smart phone's magnetometer, which will render applications which use it non-functional: compass, arrow on map applications, programs like Google Sky Map, etc.

Note that if you use it with a fiber provider (e.g., FiOS) then this is not an issue since there is no RF leakage to the street in any case (the outside signal terminates at the telco's ONT; between the ONT and the telco's headend there is a completely different type of signal - optical based or short haul VDSL).

Specifically, I don't know, however the sensors used for street traffic cover a much larger area on the ground that a gate sensor would. That said, I cannot recommend the Amanet unit which did not work for me at all. I tried 6 intersections near my home and nada. Do some research on Google and you will find that the good/no use ratio is right at 50% so if you're into flipping coins, go for it. Also ran across one writer that said he works on these magnetic traffic systems and says that they are not responsive to bike mounted magnets. Maybe need to verify this.

Hi there,Excellent question Jay! Metal disrupts the signal between the NFC tags and your device. As a result, you're likely to get erratic behaviour from the tags if they're used in conjunction with any metal, including the metal on a phone case.Hope that helps!JustinWhizTags

No way. With the wind noise and weakness of a signal it does not work at all for motorcycle riding. Get a helmet headset!

Hello, the magnet does not interfere with GPS at all. I use the mount daily with Bluetooth connected to a ODB2 reader and at the same time collecting GPS position from ground and satellite without ever having an issue.

Yes, you can use it to add for example a doorbell to your Z-Wave network, but then you have to forgo the magnetic sensor part.

Thanks for your inquire. The magnetic ring will not affect your phone. please feel free to purchase it. thanks.

In my opinion I'd try and find a smaller radio since it's a motorcycle trip. Because one the antenna is pretty long and two it's the size of an answering machine. But if size is not an issue I'd say sure why not. Just make sure you program all the places you're going to pass through. Good luck and have a safe trip!

Nope. The magnet is on the back side of the phone, and it also does not interfere with the phone. It has thick padding between the phone and the magnet and is very safe!

The device measures EMF, which is when electricity generates a magnetic field. The "radiation levels" in a phone are talking about something different most likely - probably they are talking about the microwaves that are sent from the phone to the tower. I do not believe this device will not measure that or the wifi signals that use radio waves.

No, this case does not interfere with signal, that's the clearest answer I can give you.

I guess that is a question for the manufacturer, because I just don't know. I do know that it has not interfered with my signal or anything as it refers to talking. It HAS ruined a credit card. I put it together in my pocket with the credit card and then the strip did not work... So now I obviously have to keep them apart...
