Recommend a round dashboard USB socket
My current one is causing interference with the radio so looking for suggestions for a better replacement. There are loads on ebay/ amazon but prefer one recommended so I don't have the same issue again.

Maybe with a battery volt meter in?

If it had a volt meter in, does the wiring need changing or will it still show the battery voltage? The existing is wired from the lighter socket.

thanks.

Can I ask, which one do you have the causes interference? I have the same with my dual USB Bluesea one. With a USB lead plugged in and a phone at the other ends, wipes out FM. Unplug phone and all good. Tried various USB cables. 1999 Defender TD5 110

It might be worth trying a USB cable with a ferrite sleeve. If you haven’t got one you can get the sleeves on their own on Ebay 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

I second the blue sea ones.
Had a cheapy from fleabay and it caused all sorts of FM interference

Blue sea do a 4.8A fast charge one or a standard 2.1A one.

or the cheaper

Both work really well and have no interference for me.
