LUX 5.0 radio interference help (e90)

FotiosF90M5 · 04-05-2009, 04:43 PM

I know a lot of cars out there dont have this issue but mine does with lux 5 and it did with lux 4 as well. I have *******s angel eye as drl harness in the car so the angels are always on.The problem was there before I installed this so I could just shut them off but now I cant. It messes up the radio signal to the point where I can rarely use it. The racing dash ones I had didnt have this issue but nothing compares to the brightness and white color of the lux. My car is an e90 btw. I really dont want to take them off but I hate having shitty radio interference. Mark (mds82) told me there is something I can get to put on the positive wire of the lux and it might help. I forgot what it was called. Ferric choke or something, not sure. My question is if anyone else has this problem and if anyone know if its fixable. If not my lux 5.0 will be up for sale.thanks in advance for any input.

Wow! Sorry to hear that man. I had the LUX 5.0 installed for at least 6 months if not a little more and have no problems with them. Hopefully, Marc can chime in and help you with the problem.

GL!

Ive had them installed for a long time now but now that I cant turn off the angels this radio thing has become annoying. Other than this they are perfect.
