Well the first thing I will say is, yes using cheap adapters is not a good idea. Most of the adapters just have a linear regulator that basically dissipate the rest of the energy in heat that can make your adapter very very hot. Other ones will have a buck converter that will be a lot more efficient and that uses a PWM DC signal of high frequency to achieve the desire voltage, not an AC signal. Now, yeah buck converters can introduce noise to your system, that is why using a good manufacture that know what electric components use to reduce the noise its important.

Those radio transmitter type adapters have jammers to clean up the frequency of your choice. They do a wide range to make sure the existing station doesnt cause white noise. I only use these adapters to listen to tunes on my phone through the radio, since its a base model pickup its only got radio and roller windows. Im probably not having problems because 05s dont have much for RF sensors or controls. Ive heard horror stories of some trucks that have RF gas pedals, so Ill be installing a proper aux charger and headphone jack on any new truck anyway.

The problem isnt even cheap adapters. Well, not cheap retail prices at least. You could buy a 50 adapter that was assembled in the same factory as the cheap one you were using and have the same problem. There isnt much oversight or enforced regulations on what people are allowed to say about their electronics. Qualcomm certified is on all kinds of devices that have no such certification. And even some which are certified can have excess interference and a lack of shielding despite it being extremely cheap to do. A penny saved a million earned.

Wonderful video Scotty, as usual. I will certainly unplug the cheap 2-USB adapter I have in my car. You were wrong, however, in the beginning of the video. Scientists actually have a very good idea about how electromagnetism works, being able to describe it classically and quantum mechanically. Its gravity thats the problem, which cannot currently be described in quantum mechanics. Apart from that, I thought your video was very informative Thank youSOURCE: Me; I work in a lab with lasers.

I bought a Bluetooth adapter that plugged into the cigarette lighter that plays either by aux or radio frequency. I usually plugged the aux cord into the aux port and ran it into the adapter so that I could use Bluetooth on my phone without having the aux cord plugged directly into it. One day I got curious and started messing with the radio frequencies on the device and it kicked on my TPMS light. It would only kick the light on at certain radio frequencies. weird stuff

I drive a latest Toyota Corolla 1. 8 CVT and I have a charger plugged in all the time. When its not charging a phone, its charging a flashlight. And I even charge my aircraft batteries in the car with a company supplied charger that I got with the aircraft kit. And I have never felt any issues with the cars electronics. But I would really like to plug in that Qualcomm charger. So where should I send you my address? Thank you for making all those nice videos.

Incomplete info Scotty; an inverter that produces modified sine wave power [that is most of them and almost all of the cheaper ones] will either interfere with or get fried by many electronic products or will fry or improperly run the electronic products, such as laptops, sensitive medical equipment, etc. You should use an inverter that makes pure sine wave power if youre going to be running certain types of electronic equipment.

Scotty =-0? Love Ur vids, but gotta point sumptn out, here. You advised getting an inverter for primarily electronics, but didnt caution people about buying cheap MSW (Modified Sine Wave) inverters. Sensitive electronics need pure sine wave inverters, or the dirty electricity of the cheapo inverters can destroy your gizmos. Pay a lil extra for a PSW inverter. Itll pay for itself. Phones, laptops, etal aint cheap.

You lost me when you suggested an AC inverter. Plenty of low cost electronics getting around and they arent just cigarette lighter chargers, a bad inverter can be just as bad, possibly worse than a bad ciggie lighter charger. Regardless of what is used and how it is connected these issues can appear. There is no advantage to avoiding the cig lighter socket for loads within the lighter sockets limit.
