Title: radio arial
Post by: hazpaker on 06 March 2011, 08:31:13

morning all, when i turn on the heated rear screen i lose the radio signal, not much of a problem as i listen to cd player most of the time , but  i do belive that if it is fitted it should work correctly, any shed some light on this,cheers  :D :D

do all lines of your heated rear screen work ? this can interfere with radio signal
otherwise could be aerial amp or connections or combo of both  :-/

My last Omega used to do this. My current one is much better.

There is an aerial amplifier (under the rear fibre parcel shelf) that allows high current to flow through the rear screen heater at the same time as filtering out a radio signal to send to the radio.

First thing to check is that there is a good connection from the amplifier to earth/ground.

Getting at the amplifier is a pain because you need to take the trim off the C pillars before the fibre shelf will come out.  :(
