Radar Detector Interfering With Navigation System

[ralphbrau]

I recently replaced a no-problem Escort Passport 8500 with a Passport 9500ix radar detector, mounted on the windshield of my 2004 LS430 Ultra. Now, when the detector is on, the Lexus NAV system frequently loses its position, placing the car miles from where it actually is. I suspect that the 9500ix emits some radiation that is interfering with the Lexus GPS, but have no way to confirm this other than by extended observation and inference. And no idea of how to remedy the problem, it that is the case.

Insight will be appreciated.

They (radar detectors) have an LO (Local Oscillator) that can interfere. I know how to remedy it. Buy a V1. ;)
