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. Tom

Tom, use your kill switch to shut down the engine but leave the key on. All front lights stay on for a minute or so then just the headlights turn off. That's when my radio came to life so the culprit was the LED headlights.

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.

Stop listening to AM? Yours sounds more like an antenna issue, or true reception problem.
For comparison, do other vehicles you own also lose the signal near the same area as the Spyder? Your situation might need the boosted antena.

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.

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.

Big shout out to Reggy Tan (TricLED). Contacted Reggy on Wednesday, May 3rd, and explained the issue. Reggy provided/shipped the Canbus filters at no cost to me on Thursday, May 4th. Filters arrived in the mail on Saturday, May 6th and installed same day in about 15 minutes. Beta tested yesterday and today during a ryde. Favorite radio station came in loud and clear. Reggy and his crew provide state of the art products and, without question, world class customer service! Thanks Reggy.
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.
