      Check the SNR on the router both with and without car present.
      Like they said, possibly security device like PIR in car.
      Is this when car is running or stopped or both? If only when running then check your HT leads and coil. That would be quite amusing. Your router diagnosing an electrical fault with your car.

        Why would the car alarm be emitting UHF when not in use?

          Cheers all good suggestions...well the technical ones anyway. haven't checked with car running..but definitly with the car stopped. Its only just happening recently.

          The router is on channel 7 at present. I could ask the guys to reboot it which would cause it to set itself onto a another channel. When I scan the networks I can see others not on channel 7 which appear to be pretty stable.

            None between us and the router. though there are plenty of weeds around. Only happens with the car though...Then there is the occaision, which I neglected to mention, where I have to shift the bridge a few centimeters to regain signal. very odd. Just wonder if there is a static buildup?

              If it is with car stopped (engine not running) then it is not going to be noise from the engine electrics so rule that out.

              Did you follow the link basshead provided. That looks very similar.

              If it is recent then what has changed? Do you have a regular parking spot or is it anywhere within a radius.

                Yeah I thought that too. That the Passat is somehow "tuned" to reflect channel 7 on the router.

                I dunno if the passat has internal motion sensor on the car alarm. But I'll leave the car unlocked one day and see what happens. Wife's taken the car to R'dale today to her other office so won't be able to experiment today.

                Now who would have a spectrum analyzer around these parts??? hmmm..
