They have confirmed that the flat cable included with the radio does not provide adequate shielding ( which we already knew ). They have replaced it with a standard CAT5 cable and RJ45 connectors.
I have done the same and noticed quite a reduction in the DC noise in the audio when my truck is running. My next step will be to add a clip on choke and see if that gets rid of it altogether.
Any response on the cross banding?
Nothing yet. One issue at a time. 🙂
Indeed hopefully they let us know soon. Is it a standard cat5 and connector setup? For some reason I was under the impression they messed with the wire order.
They swapped pins 4 and 2 if memory serves me.
I don’t have the manual in front of me at the moment.
