We have a 2017 RX450h. Lexus fitted a NextBase dashcam a while ago (to replace a BlackVue one that was draining the battery). Our DAB reception has got progressively worse to the point that we can’t listen to DAB on any station without it constantly cutting out. When we unplug the NextBase the DAB radio comes back on.  It is going to be serviced next week and we would like to get this resolved. 

Does anyone know where the DAB antenna is positioned?

Also, has anyone solved this issue (which I believe is quite common)?

TIA

All they need to do is to run the camera wire down the opposite side to the DAB antenna wire.

If they won't/can't do that then put a ferrite bead on the camera wire.

You need another dash cam.

Nextbase ones are notorious for DAB interference. 

Ape-man and Viofo don't cause this especially when using a hardwire kit with a magnet on the end

My Nextbase dashcam doesn't cause any DAB interference on my 2022 NX. I have front and rear cameras wired with a Nextbase hardwire kit that includes a ferrite bead on the wire by the front camera.

They seem to affect different cars in different ways.

Nextbase with some VWs was horrible, couldnt get the DAB to work and no signal. Sent it back. 

Seems to be fine on the Mercedes though.

Viofo has been perfect for me.No interference from front and rear.
