The Vauxhall Omega uses the Heated Rear Window as its Radio Aerial. I presume there is some form of control box that enables the HRW to be used as an aerial.
I have a CDX Diesel Omega (Year 2000 - new style) and have a problem with the Radio. It keeps on cutting out as if the aerial has been disconnected and only comes back on if I select the HRW, or switch the HRW off. I suspect that this is caused by a faulty control box or a dry connection.
Does anyone know where the Control Box is located.

The turning off stuff is probably caused by a bad earth to the radio. Take it out and push it back again to make sure the connectors are made.

Someone on there had the same problem about a year ago. I would search for it for you, but the Yahoo Groups search facility is useless, only searching a tiny proportion of posts at a time. You could join and ask on there, if no joy here. I think it was an earth in the boot?

Thanks for the link. I was not aware of that user group. I does look like it may be an earth judging by the other responses. Thanks to all.
