Default Radio reception when iphone is charging

Noticed something weird yesterday when I plugged my phone in to charge while I was driving, the radio reception became poor. I had a nice clear signal that deteriorated when I started to charge the phone. It became clear as soon as I unplugged it. It was a local station that is usually pretty strong.

Note, this is with the new amplifier that I just had installed by the dealer. (don't know if it was like this before the first amp failed...)

The charger may be iffy - especially if it's a "modern" one, in which case it'll use high frequencies internally. They're not supposed to leak out but some are frankly nastily designed/made.

That could be it. I'll try another one.

Thanks!

I had terrible AM reception, lots of noise. When I was working on another issue I had the radio out. I made a point of properly sitting the cable back in, it wasn't very snug. Huge difference now
