Added a small gizmo today that contains a voltmeter and double usb sockets. Took about 25 mins all in. Quite pleased with meself as usually i get on better with voodoo than electectrickery.
Tapped into a switched live on the radio filter thingy.
Hopefully smaller image below

Much smaller!
If you use the 'Preview' button, you will see what your post will look like before you submit it.
I'll be interested if your 'gizmo' provides interference-free radio reception. Everything I've tried so far renders my radio useless. |

Sure. Look at the code in your post. It's this: [img]https://i.imgur.com/gEXD7ky.jpg?1[/img] I don't know why, but it's got a '?1' after the '.jpg' file type extension. Those two characters aren't needed and are screwing up the image display.
If you copy your original line of code, paste it, and edit it to delete the two extra characters you get this:
Don't forget to let me know what the radio reception is like, please. |

Simon I am changing cars a bit lately and since having a few brand new cars previously I got used to digital radio and listening to the arguments on LBC which doesn’t get this far on fm so instead of aerials I stream radio from my phone to headunit or via parrot and it’s crystal clear and reliable mostly all the rime these days although a few years back it was a little hit and miss Re signal |

Thanks Skool. Until recently I was too mean to pay for enough data to stream audio, but I've recently upgraded my plan so I will give it a go. LBC is my preferred station in the car too, as you can dip in and out of it and not miss very much. I've recently put a DAB radio in my Challenger, but unfortunately the only real change is the noise it makes when the signal is poor. I now get clicking instead of silence! |
