Poor radio reception

Hi guys, could do with some advice. Recently I have noticed the radio reception on FM has become poor, I have googled etc but seem to have had very little luck.

If anyone has any ideas what the problem could be (before I spend most of tomorrow scratching my head) please let me know. I am recieving certain FM channels but the reception is barely audible.

Cheers

I presume that you haven't had your head unit out for any reason recently?

I think the Aerial is in the rear 1/4 glass so it can't be that unless something there has been disturbed / damaged.

Hi, did you get it this sorted. I note that that you posted your problem in October when you possibly started to use your heated rear screen. I have a similar problem put only when the screen heater is on, so it's no great shakes as it's only on for a few minutes in the mornings

Hi Glenn822... Nothing was altered and the reception issue seemed to disappear. all is good again now... Very perculiar although a nice "cheap" fix.

Mine does this also, soon as I turn on the heated rear window the radio starts going mental.

Anyone know of a way to sort this? I presumed it was down to a bad earth but had a look and couldnt see anything.
