Heated screen affecting radio??

[supercub]

Ive recently discovered that while listening to the radio (cd is fine)   That the heated rear window causes a pulsing buzzing interfearance.

I tried the original radio and am getting the same problem so definatly not my headunit....

Anyone else had this?

If you're using the heater as an aerial, there's most likely at least one element with a partial break in it; this causes arcing that you can't see but produces high frequency noise.

This may happen even if you don't use the heater as an aerial, but to a lesser extent.

Just realised i posted this in the wrong section (oops)


sorry

And na its got a bee sting aerial...  As for the heater element yeah its got a few broken lines.    Guessing its to be expected with an estate.  They get all sorts wearing against the screen if loaded up...
