Heated rear window interferes with radio reception

[ADi Nuff Valves]

I just noticed this morning that if I switch my heated rear screen on it interferes with the radio reception. Has anyone else noticed this?

Unfortunately it is likely that the aerial element in the rear screen that has broken. I had this on a previous car and the only fix is to replace the rear screen !

Sorry !!

I have this on mine - so when I need to use the Rear Screen demister.....I just put on a cd!

Yep, I had this problem. It's either an amplifier in the tailgate or, as was the case with mine, needs a new rear screen. Luckily mine was done under warranty!

It took two goes to get Audi to find the problem, but they have, and it's having a new rear screen tomorrow. Didn't come under the extended warranty but since I originally enquired about it not long after buying the car from them they are sorting it for free anyway. Result.
