We have a wireless Shimano Flightdeck on the front of the tandem along
with a B & M Oval Senso Plus headlight which uses an LED.
I have discovered that when the LED is lit the speed and distance
readings of the Flightdeck don't function.Obviously there is some
interference of the computer signal between the sensor on the front fork
and the head unit caused by the LED.
I wondered if anyone else had had this problem and if they overcame it
as it has me stumped at the minute or is it,as I suspect, something we
will have to put up with.
Thanks.

Try moving sensor and wire for the headlight apart as far as possible,
ie move the sensor over to the lh side of the fork.

Marten,
Have just tried that,moved the sensor over and as high up the fork as
possible,still the same.
Having thought about it I wondered if the problem may lie with the
magnets in the Schmidt dynohub causing the interference.
Anyway with the sensor as far away as it can go we will have to put up
with it.
Thanks,
Sam Salt

I have had interference with a Polar 725X and a Lightbrain Twin Cycle
Light Pulse width modulated controller hooked up to dual 10 W halogen
lights. The adjacent wired Flight Deck computer was OK, whilst the
Polar went mad. With the bike stationary on the bike repair stand and
the headlights working my heart rate was 250 (should have been around 75
resting - but zero as I wasn't measuring it!) and the bike was doing 25
km/hr. Must have been a whole lot of RF radiating from the cables &
controller.

Can't help with your specific problem, but for what it's worth, you
can pick up a wired mount for flight deck from ebay sellers for pretty
cheap. Icyclesusa.com also sells them for pretty cheap. I had to
replace my wireless mount and went with wired because it was so much
cheaper and also easy to install. I hadn't had interference problems
though.
