Griffin Compact Dual USB Car Charger
This is a weird one. These chargers clearly induce some electrical interference (making the CE mark questionable).
We have 3 cars fitted with DAB radio. 2 Volvo V70s - one with an Alpine DAB adaptor, the other with a Volvo factory DAB and a VW Polo with a Sony DAB.
I ordered 4 of these chargers doe our iPhones and Blackberrys and put one in the cigar lighter of each car on the same day.
I noticed a drop in DAB signal in my Volvo that I thought was a BBC fault. After a couple of days I even emailed the BBC complaining about the reduced signal in my area. Then my wife said "what's wrong with DAB in my car? FM is fine." Still I didn't link it to these chargers,
Then our son said "why can't I get 6Music in the Polo?"
Still, I thought this a transmitter problem.
Then, sitting in a car park, frustrated with the "no signal" display on my car DAB, I inadvertently pulled out the Griffin USB charger and DAB sprang back into life.
I removed the chargers from our other cars and, you've guessed it, the DAB radios returned immediately to full strength.
