Heated rear window button is disabling DAB / Radio

Just bought a 2nd had 2017 Edge Sport and I have noticed a bit of a weird issue with the heated rear window button and the DAB. Yesterday was the first day when I needed to clear the windscreens so I got in to the car and turned on the max heat button. I noticed the radio did not come on and despite trying all DAB pre-sets and the FM pre-sets, I could not get any radio signal. As I was late I drove to my appointment using apple car play.

When I got in to the car on the way home the DAB was working fine again, so when I got home I started to test out a few things and discovered that when I turn on the heated rear window it seems to interact and block out the DAB / radio completely, if I turn the button off then the radio works fine.

Has anyone experienced this or can give any advice before I consider taking it in to Ford?

Thanks

    Has the rear windscreen been replaced? Does it have a Ford logo?

    The radio antenna is often built in to rear or rear side windows.

    I expect you have a faulty aerial isolator/signal amp. Located in the tailgate it provides isolation from the heated rear window for the FM and DAB signals. The roof aerial is for the SatNav and for AM signals.
