methinks you'll find that the aerial on the car is NOT for the radio, but for phone/gps ...  The rear screen heater is the radio aerial via an aerial amplifier, which I "think" is under the rear parcel shelf ...

check the heated rear screen element using a magnifying glass .. it is easy to "scratch" it and make a tiny break in one of the elements, this effectively destroys it as an aerial as the effective length is totally wrong. gets worse when the heater is on because that destroys the signal even more. Can sometimes be fixed with careful use of conductive paint
