Will do...just hoping one Ferrite sleeve is going to be enough, and if it's not then like you I'm waiting on Nextbase for the extra Ferrite sleeves.

Just a quick heads up, Steve....DAB works perfectly with the rear camera Ferrite sleeve in place.
I'll post a picture in a little while so you can see where I have placed it.

Here you go
Front camera with the included Ferrite sleeve as standard
Rear camera with the Ferrite sleeve I attached
You would have thought that Nextbase would include one as standard, because if the front camera needs a Ferrite sleeve then surely the rear camera needs one also.
Anyhoo, hope this helps, Steve and lets us know how you get on.

Hi mate,
Update on the dash cam,my cabling is running through the rubber sleeve that connects from the boot to the tailgate, that the cables that supply brake lights and wipers and so on. Nextbase have sent me 3 ferrite cores and I have had to fit all three and keep the cable outside of the black plastic boot surround just to get any dab with the boot shut. See attached photo,I am going to work tonight,18 mile drive so will see how it goes, otherwise it might be getting removed for good. Came across another problem, mine is currently plugged into the cigarette lighter,every time I stop and the engine start stop functions kills the engine,when it starts up again the power to the nextbase cable drops for about 3 seconds which is enough to turn off the dash cam and then it restarts again,does your do this.

Ey up, Steve...maybe it's the routing through the tailgate that is possibly causing the issue, because mine has been faultless since fitting that single Ferrite sleeve, try keeping the cable to the inside of the car like mine and see what happens.
As for the cig lighter knocking off on Start/Stop operation, I haven't noticed, but I wouldn't have thought it should because under normal operation the 12v socket will stay powered up for a couple of minutes after turning off and locking the car, I checked when installing mine and the blue light on the 12v plug definitely stays on for that amount of time before going out.
Maybe the Start/Stop operation is sucking that much power on start up that the voltage is dropping and causing the camera to shut down momentarily, dash cams can be quite sensitive to voltage drops.
Let us know how you get on.

Did Nextbase say anything about those ferrite core filters? Like... they are tuned to 3 different radio bands? DAB, FM (VHF) and all below (HF). If they are the same (say DAB band) then the other 2 aren't much use. Both FM and DAB are in the same VHF band.Steveob wrote: ↑Sun Jul 14, 2019 12:47 pm Hi mate,

Hi,sorry for the late reply,not to sure what the ferrite cores filter,just know I needed 3 to stop interference, can see them on back window but it’s a small price too pay.went for the hardwired option in the end and it’s not cutting out anymore so it’s all good at the moment.
