Why is my Magellan Roadmate 2000 interfering with my radio when plugged into the cigarette lighter?

Jan 03, 2007 by .. | Posted in Car Audio

I have a Magellan Roadmate 2000 GPS vehicle (got it for Christmas). It is hollow suction on the windshield, and has a cigarette lighter adapter for power.

When the adapter is plugged both into the cigarette lighter and the unit, my radio FM and AM get more staticky with strange buzzing and others. As soon as I unplug the adapter from the device or the cigarette lighter, he stops.

Clearly the power or something is causing interference, but is this normal? Is something broken or malfunctioning? Magellan customer support is virtually nonexistent if I''ve gone to the next best thing ...the people! Thank you for your help.
It may be operating in the megahertz as the first speaker said, but I am curious to know why I comment on some stations also others that are in different places on the dial?

Hertz is the answer, it probably works on the same megahertz as the radio station you're listening. Check the ground inside of your outlet, because of cigarette ash possibly making a bad connection also .. Many electrical accessories interfere with the factory computers and radios, such as cell phones can cause static speakers on newer vehicles. Good luck.

Can I purchase an instruction book for my Magellan Roadmate. I lost the one that came with it.?
