Radio going with heated rear screen

[andyroo]

Hi
Thought I'd be the first to post on this B6 forum with a little problem.
When I switch on the heated rear sreen on my 2003 A4 avant the radio signal dissapears doesn't matter what station I've got on. Heated screen demists OK CD un-affected radio works great when screen is off. Anybody got any ideas? Oh Vag-com says "no faults"

Cheers
Andy.

There is a shunt on the aerial feed that should prevent the rear window heater from interfering with the aerial feed. I would suspect that it has failed. Not sure if VAGcom would pick it up as I think it's a passive device.

Can't help with where it's hidden unfortunately....

Hi,

My 04 Audi A3 TDI Sport radio signal disappears when the rear window heater is switched on. Did you ever find a solution to your problem in 2006?

Cheers
