Help This Doing My Head In

Radio signal rubbish. It's been to the dealer and they found nothing (there's a surprise) get worse when you turn the heated rear window on.
Any ideas chaps?

Re: Help This Doing My Head In

If the head unit has been replaced my guess it one of three problems; poor ground, bad antenna connection, or electrical feedback. To rule out the electrical issue connect a 100 uf electrolytic capacitor across the power feed to the radio, if the problem clears up then there something in your electrical system generating noise. I had a 2000 Wrangler that had a noise wiper motor an when it was on it would destroy the signal. Check the antenna connection with an ohm meter to antenna also check the ground connection of the antenna and of the radio to the chassis of the car.
