My truck has Android Auto and I have a dongle to make it Wireless Android Auto. Wireless AA and Apple Carplay use local, adhoc wi-fi to do most of the communication with the phone, in addition to Bluetooth for initial connection and phone calls. I've always experienced a little interference with these between Yosemite and Kuhner, when passing under the wire (assuming high-voltage power) that crosses the 118 in this area. Not too unusual.
Several weeks ago I began experiencing prolonged interference from Sycamore to just past Kuhner, and it happens as soon as I get on the 118 in this area. Interference across such a large area indicates this is something other than the typical "environment" interference. The strength of the interference is much higher as well, as it can still disconnect my phone from the dongle when seperated by mere inches.
Has anyone else been experiencing similar issues with their wireless Android Auto or Apple Carplay on the 118 on the East side? If this is a broader issue, than a request can be made to the FCC to investigate, as such interference is a violation of FCC regulations.
ADDITION: If you're a HAM operator on the East side, have you experienced and/or know of interference in the 5Ghz band?
Is the radar-assisted cruise control affected too?
I've found information about the radar used for the cruise control, but only references regarding radar for the Lane Assist. I suspect LA combines visual and radar sensors.
RF Interference on 118?
