DAB V Heated rear window?

Anyone had this one? When I have the DAB radio on in my 2010 Vogue, As soon as I switch on the heated radio window
the radio cuts out and shows No Signal on the display? Switching rear window heating off restores the radio signal. Not a power consumption issue as such as I can create a massive load with heated seat etc and it doesn't happen?
Anyone got any ideas?

the dab antenna is in the rear and rear side screens...the electronic boxes are located behind the rear cubbys...
i would check all connections and in particular the earth connections and also check that there isnt any water ingress.. ... - .- -.

Cheers, I'll have look in the back Tomorrow. It has been pretty wet here last week or so.

Yep could be as I only really noticed it a couple of days ago. Will delve into the back end Tomorrow for a moisture check👍

Well had a look in the rear Today and all is bone dry. Checked and tightened connections and earths but problem persists?
Think this maybe a tricky one to suss out?

I have exactly the same problem on my 320d BMW (2012). I've just assumed the heated rear screen must interfere with the DAB antenna somehow. I bought the car in May 2015 but only noticed the problem in the October when I started using the heated rear screen. Its a PITA !

I get the same issue on mine - I just assumed the power through the heating element corrupts the DAB signal. Current : Range Rover 5.0 SC 2011 Orkney Grey
