Quest/autocom interference

Zach · Jun 6, 2008

I am trying to wire up a quest cradle but when I have my autocom on with the gps in the cradle I am getting a pulsing interference. The autocom is powered from a switched live from the rear tale light and the Quest Cradle is powered from a switched live from the front lights. Any ideas?

I think you need a special suppressed lead from Autocom as both items are powered off the bike.

If you disconnect the power to the Quest and run it off it's internal batteries does that make the interference go away?

That is nomal Ground Loop Interference. You will need to put Autocom splitter between the end of the GPS cable and the Autocom. Give them a call on Monday.
