I have a 987.1 Boxster S with Bose (CDR24). I am using an FM Transmitter (made by Roav/Anker) to allow me to connect me to stream music and talk from my phone. The functionality works perfectly with one issue (and a rather annoying one) - on some songs, I get repeatable distortion coming from my speakers (in other words, at the same point in the song, I get distortion every time). In some songs, I get no distortion at all and in others, lots of distortion. Some additional notes/comments:
- An example song is Michael Jackson's Rock with You at the 6th second of the song (I played it from the Google Play app)
- The distortion seems to be a static sound cutting in that overlays the music. The distortion/static seems to come at a mid-level music frequency (i.e., not at a bass or treble-heavy section).
- I have tried different FM frequencies with the same result
- I have tried music from different sources/apps with the same result
- I have tried this FM transmitter in two different cars and have not heard the distortion mentioned above (in fact, I never heard distortion at all)
- I have even pulled another car next to the Porsche and transmitted from that car (the CDR24 picked up the signal fine) and have heard the distortion in the Porsche, but not the other car
Based on my tests above, I don't think it is the music source or the FM transmitter because I cannot replicate the issue in any other car. The best I can conclude is that the FM transmitter is transmitting music outside of the CDR24's range and when it receives this signal it throws static because it doesn't know what to do with it.
Is this even possible? I am sort of at a loss here.
