Hi Simon, a loud buzzing that makes the station unlistenable, switch on the headlights which turns off the DRLs and the buzzing goes, same as listening to the radio on stage one of the ignition before the DRLs are powered up. It’s odd as it’s only that station and didn’t have the problem before the DRLs were fitted. LEDs can cause strange interference, on my pushbikes I have got wireless trip computers and when I used a hi-power LED headlight if it was mounted near to the computer it would interrupt the wireless signal !
