Problems with HWY 41 in Milwaukee...Very strange issue.

[tank_jh]

Ok, mark this as one of the most random issues I have seen with a vehicle. This one goes out to my fellow Wisconsin owners. When traveling either north or south bound on HWY 41 and I go under the Good Hope Road bridge, my infotainment screen, gauges, and Android Auto all go black and then restart. I thought the first time it was just a fluke but Saturday on the way down and yesterday on the way back through everything went black and came back on. Does anyone have experience with an issue like this? I know occasionally these screens can go out but its happened at least 4 times in the exact same spot. I was driving for different amounts of time when each happened and it happens only when I cross under that bridge. Anyone from Milwaukee experience this? My guess is some sort of signal is getting blocked and causes the truck to re-search for it but it doesn't do that in parking garages or areas like that. I wanted to do my test yesterday before I thought I was going crazy and it seems to be connected to that bridge for some reason. I am at a loss.

Is there an airport nearby? Does it only happen with Android Auto and/or Carplay?

DFS channel blocking can cause this if so.

Happens with Android Auto connected. This is way north of the airport by a number of miles so I would not anticipate that being the issue. It doesn't happen while I have been parked at the MKE airport.

That may be one of those designated "Raptor Free" zones. Did you see any warning signs? They usually have a picture of a Raptor with a big circle with a cross through it.

Mine did the same in few specific parts of town too, using android auto. Android Auto is generally a pain the butt anyway if you want to use your phone for other things while in use. I quit using Android Auto altogether and don't miss it.

Pretty normal, EMI. Few spots in Minneapolis like that.

I've only used it a few times, the only thing I like about it was Waze.

I quit using waze. It kept taking me through construction zones or roads that were blocked by construction. Boring old google maps on the phone it is.

When I'm down in the more urban areas I liked the local police/traffic updates. I usually just use the truck gps now.

Well that a fascinating. I’m not far from there, but I kinda want to try it and see what happens.

When on 94 leaving downtown every time I pass the WEnergies building my CarPlay disconnects. It’s 10/10 since I’ve been keeping track.
