Question CB Radio and iPod Question
I'm getting ready to install an aftermarket HU and a CB in the dash where the OEM radio is. My question is this: If the iPod is near/on the CB radio could the CB interfere/ruin the ipod in any way? I'm thinking magnetically?

My cb is above the rear view mirror and I have a 2200 watt stereo system with 2 12" subs and Everytime I hit a bass note with the subs I get interference on my cb, if I turn the subs off at the deck there is no problem all my music is on my iphone

I can see no issue there. Maybe some interference when a call or text is being recieved but should be fine otherwise.
