Hi,
I have problem with radio signal when motor is ON, if I turn Off motor signal is average/good.
I dont have accesories connected to the car which could cause this problem.
I tried to change diversity module but the problem persist.

Any idea what can cause this problem?

Thanks

It would be helpful if you described the "problem" you are having with the radio signal when motor is ON. For example, is there static or buzzing heard through the speakers? Is it related to the ignition, where the interference varies with engine speed? Is it more prevalent when the brake is applied?

Also, which radio option do you have in your vehicle? If not sure, check your vehicle options using this page (just enter your VIN):

Radio Antenna Signal Weaker w/Engine Running



Do you have any circuit diagram/schematic for the antenna system, particularly the antenna amplifier??

Sounds like there is a reduction in the antenna signal when the ignition is ON (or at least the engine is running). If anyone has the circuit (NOT in Bentley) can you identify anything that is supposed to change in power supply to the antenna amplifier between ignition on & "radio mode"?

OP, does the problem happen when you put key in slot & just press start WITHOUT foot on brake (just ignition ON without motor running)?
