If it ever stops raining here I will do the test on Mushu. Engine off, kill switch off, driving lights off. I hope you have the answer. :pray: Tom :spyder:

If you Google LED noise filters and not Can Bus noise filters you will find all sorts of info related to electrical noise from the LED power supplies.
Seems, often they install a ferrite coil around the power and ground wires to supress the noise.
The company selling the LEDs should have plug and play noise filters or if you know the part number of the oem halogen bulb, find filters that fit that connector type.
Ok, I did this with my F3 Limited. Immediately after hitting the kill switch, the radio station came in clear. I also had turned off the led driving lights before hitting the kill switch. Did this twice. Both times after hitting the kill switch, the radio worked fine. The headlights tuned off, no difference. The led fender lights never shut off. :dontknow: Tom :spyder:
Looks like your gremlin ain't your headlights. Your LED fender lights are stock. Doesn't appear that the culprit is the driving (fog ?) lights since you have the radio interference with then on or off. Does your radio interference get worse when you rev your engine? If so, that may indicate some sort of engine related interference. Sorry I can't be of more help. Good luck, Tom.
LED fender lights are "Custom Dynamics". And the static doesn't get worse with revving the engine. Biggest difference to date. Riding in Nashville, TN., and Springfield MO., the radio worked great. Using a music thing a magig plugged into the USB in the glove box, radio plays fine. Picked up a top box and amp at Spyderfest. If I can figure out the install, should be interesting. :thumbup: Tom :spyder:
So, your fender lights are the side and rear marker lights from CD? I have them as well and they weren't the cause of my radio interference. Getting good reception in Springfield and Nashville may have been the stations you were listening to. There is 1 station here that is the most powerful station in the area and I could pick it up just fine, but no others. I can't offer any other explanation as to why you got good reception out there but not in PA. The best of luck to you with the top box/amp install.
I am curious about this radio issue as I appear to have a possible problem with some other aftermarket LEDs and the CB. Right now, at BRPs request, I am running with only the High Mount Tail light installed as BRP just finished replacing the following (under warranty):
- The CB (twice), I am on my third unit
- The entertainment harness
- The radio
- Reimbursed me for, and installed, the J&M antenna upgrade kit
They agreed to all of this with the condition that I unplug ALL the aftermarket LEDs ... which I did and am taking my time plugging them back in. First was the High Mount Tail light ... felt pretty safe with this one since it I had one on my 2012 RT and never had problems with the CB. Next will be the mirror LEDs and then the rear run / brake/ turn set will be last. I am worried that one of these may produce interference and am curious about what I might have to do in order to remedy the situation. A
Do you happen to have a picture of the "canbus filter"?
Thank you .... Ann
Ann, sorry I do not have a pic of the filters. I may be able to get a pic tomorrow even though they are installed. If you find that one or more of the Spyderpops LEDs are causing your problem, contact Spyderpops. Based on my experience with him, he will do what he can to help correct your problem.
