Thread: Shield your lilliput !!

masch - pc takes around 10 secs for opus to power it down, it's during this time locking is unavaliable... my lilliput is powered from opus so its not off until PC is, if you used a cig lighter power you wouldn't see the effect.
If it can do this to your central locking - I hate to think how its effecting ABS + airbags - It needs sorting

Yeah, windows shutdown! Mine take's about 12 secs to hibernate after pulling the key out, by that time I'm out of the car and (sometimes) wondering why the doors aren't locking...

i'll let you know how i get on with the shielding - this might be cause of your probs too laidback...

if you read above you'll see I was able to narrow it down to the lilliput screen - car battery produces 12.4V even pulling 20+ amps and wired through 3 runs of seriously thick cable, (I can leave lights on and still lock doors fine)

What is the 0v line referred to i am about to mount my screen in dash about 10cm away from the ABS computer ! ! !! and AIRBAG computer ! ! ! !

Do I just cover the back of the screen housing in tin foil ?

This should be happening to lots of people. Laidback is still using the original lilliput housing and it still causes interference.
