Tracker radio interference

Hi, I had a tracker fitted to my Defender 90 (63 plate) yesterday and now I'm getting a lot of radio interference whenever the radio/CD unit is switched on - to the extent it's not worth listening to now. I had a tracker fitted some years ago to another 90 (09 plate) and this very occasionally made a noise - but I think this was from the tracker device, possibly whenever a mobile was close to it, and not through the audio system. It was nothing compared to this. The noise I'm getting now is the sound you used to get if you had a mobile too close to a car radio (maybe you still do get the noise, but I've never had it with my Land Rovers). I get the noise whenever the radio/CD unit is switched on, without a mobile being in the car. My guess is the guy who fitted the tracker unit has located it too close to the radio. Is there anything that can be done about this - other than just relocating the tracker unit?

Thanks.
 
The RF clash can only come from the data the system transfers on to the data centre.
These things shouldn't happen these days. I'd get straight back onto the installers.
RF shouldn't be an issue next to 2,4 or 5,6GHz, if that's what its using.
 
I’ve emailed the vendor who is contacting the installer and am waiting to hear back. Something’s definitely not right and the audio system isn’t usable now. Not tried using my phone on Bluetooth through it yet but I imagine I’d get the same problem. Sounds like the device itself could be faulty.
