DAB Radio Cutting out.

Hi, my DAB radio is cutting or fading out.
The dealer has been looking at this problem and so far has no fix.
They have replaced the roof mounted antenna, and the DAB module box, $1900 for the box alone.
They tell me, when they walk close to the rear side glass antennas the radio fades out.
But they can't figure it out !
Any ideas what is going on ? As this if becoming a very expensive fix so far!

Hi, No I do not have a dash cam fitted.
I did read the post about Dash Cams messing with DAB radio signals.
I have told the dealer about the post where somebody disconnected the input wire from the signal amplifier to the window built in antenna,and just connected a copper wire and ran it into the roof area. This fixed signal problem.
I don't know if they would try that fix as it is not JLR approved.
I will wait and see if they fix it and what was the result.
So far the car has been with them four weeks.Lucky we are not driving much at the moment.
Thanks for the replies so far.

It might depress you to know that my car was in with the registered dealer twice to sort this out - they found no fault - THen I found the issue with the dash cam cable interfering and asked an auto electrician to move it - problem solved! DAB now back to almost perfect!
