Thumbs down Palm Car Adapter and Touchstone cause radio interference

I have tried to use the Palm 12V charger adapter with the Palm Touchstone wireless charger in my car, but the radio interference is so bad that I cannot use it like this.

Let me clarify that it worked great for the Palm: I was able to charge while doing Sprint Navigation, Pandora, and talking on the phone through my bluetooth earpiece. Very nice!

But listening to the radio for local news and traffic reports is almost impossible due to the interference.

Has anyone else experienced this issue?

might be your car charger itself...

have you tried swapping out with a different car charger??

It may be a ground loop issue. I fixed a similar problem (not related to a touchstone) with a Ground Loop Isolator for my satellite radio. $10 - $20 on ebay.
