Dear all,

I have a 2.6 Omega Elite which looses its radio signal when i turn on the heated rear window. I am not sure where to start looking for the problem

The screen heater element is the aerial, (assuming it's a Saloon)... I would start with the aerial amp which will be under the parcel shelf somewhere. Might be accessible from the boot

Looking for a loose or broken connection there

Connections to the amplifier under the parcel shelf ....... I just didn't turn the HRW on

Unfortunately it's on the steel shelf under the cover.

Look for poor 0v connections. Or the Earths if Mr DTM isn't listening (yes, I know he's technically correct )


Also, first, try cleaning the inside of the rear window, gently.

But we're not technical 

Though not as much as it was in the Omega, there's some interference on the radio in my Merc if I put the HRW on

That usually fixes this problem in my experience

Does it will give that ago 

To get at that amp you will have to have rear seats out too. Just like doing a rear blind Which ive got to go and do all again cos the bleeding thing is jammed up

Indeed you do... so while you're in there..
