Did not stop the interference at all. This item is fitted to one of your nextbase units and am very disappointed with it.

Unfortunately too loose, so slides along cable, even though it is supposed to be specifically for the dash cam rear camera. Therefore unable to rate performance for this product. Had to purchase a different product from Amazon.
It works fine

Ordered 2 to address DAB interference issues with a 522GW but they have made on difference. To compound the issue the front camera keeps feezing (even though using Nextbase supplied SSD card) and i have to do a hard reset. Turns out this is a known issue with no resolution! I now need to determine if i will go through the hassle of removing the wiring from the interior in order to return the device as i have no faith that i will be able to retrieve images. Also the phone app really drains the phone battery therefore i have had to uninstall. Overall not a great experience.

Added two of these, one at each end of the feed from the rear nextbase camera, to help the reception on my dab radio. They are a loose fit on the wire. They do appear to improve matters, but the signal does still break from time to time. Not perfect, but they appear to help.
