Do these LED lights interfere with the AM or FM radio in cars?

I cannot confirm that the LED lights are the cause of the interference, but I can confirm that my AM/FM radio started to have issues with regulating the volume after installing the LED lights. Now the volume starts at a normal decibel and then quickly gets very quiet, with an inability to turn it very loud.

No. There is no switching or change state in these single color lights. FM, VHF and HF radios were not affected by these or any other single color LEDs I have used.

Sorry --- I would like to answer, but I have used them only in my RV, so I don't know.

No, these are not reccomended for automotive use. I would recommend LED strips or neon bars. However, keep in mind LED on automomobiles is illegal while driving but while stationary is perfectly legal. Thanks.

I use my BESTEK adapter to power my radar detector, iPhone, and car phone device. I generally listen to XM radio, but I have experienced NO interference with either XM or FM the few times I have listened to it. I haven't listened to AM in probably 30 years, so I can be of no help there.

You can set "presets" for both am and fm stations. By holding down the "power" on the remote, the radio will turn off.

No RFI experienced when listening to a battery powered AM/FM radio or cell phone when near the lights. Don't know about interference with the TV as I don't have one.

It depends upon the car wiring. Although the radio has auto-dim capability, it is not usually recommended for do-it-yourselfers. Crutchfield recommends that this function be ignored due to complications that can arise. If you really want this function, it's better to use a professional installer.

No there is no way to turn off the underbody light without turning off the interior, unless you do not connect them to your cd player and set the outside to sound. This will turn them off hence its not picking up any sound, which is what i use.

I believe you are referring to the antenna. If you plan on using the am/fm tuner than leave it alone. If you NEVER want to use the am/fm tuner than cut it off.

Yes. Five for each. Looking at the top row of buttons, the left one turns on and adjusts the display lighting (which stays on forever if you use the button but not if it goes on automatically). Then the AM/Fm button, then the presets, then the power on button (a little larger). I use the radio in the dark at night by feel, like a blind man. It's a little odd but it works and it's attractive looking. Sound is good considering the small size of the speaker. Reception is excellent. I can pull in a distant FM station at 8 pm that I usually can't with a Grundig/Eton S350. The bottom buttons, by the way, do things like set the clock.

There are not any selectable channels for the signals so I believe they may interfere but I only have 1 set so could not verify for sure.

I had a similar problem. I called it ground feedback. No one else heard of it. When I put these in I get a faint glow on the dash turn signal indicators and the front turn signal lamps are also glowing slightly. This was with a pair of cheap knock off lamps installed. I am going to try the JDM Lamps to see if better quality makes any difference.

I have experienced the same interference problem with chargers. I often listen to distant radio stations and everything interferes with this music. I just tested my Bosch jobsite deluxe and it had no interference while charging internally or the other chargers next to the radio and it was fine. That was a first. Must be perfect climatic experience. My Bose acoustic radio will inform me if my charger is running in the house. Answer to question is yes chargers are working hard and causing interference.

Quite the coincidence but yes they can.i did not know until after I had purchased them. I installed one set then the other. As I went to test the set I had just installed for connections and blown led bulbs. As I turned the second set on I noticed that my cars lights had also come on. The controls focus on the one with less than redistribution

I haven't found a dimmer switch on the radio. It was way too distracting for me until I took the time to pick a color scheme and take it out of demo mode. I drive 100+ miles a week, and if I could dim the display, I probably would, on occasion. In my buick, the location is low enough that it doesn't bother me.
