Thinking about this again, the DAB radio on my Lexus was next to useless - the dealer couldn’t find any fault, but when when I uninstalled my aftermarket dashcam (as above, all the wiring hidden behind trim, and piggy back hardwired in the fuse box) just prior to end of lease, the DAB was fine. I learned later that I wasn’t the only one to have this problem, and that it was something to do with the shielding.

Could that be the ‘onboard electrics’ to which they refer?

FWIW the same camera is now in my C70, no problems at all, but then it doesn’t have DAB radio either........
