Bad radio reception when rear defroster is ON
Hey Guys,
I am having bad radio reception once the rear and side mirror defrosters go on. I know that the radio antenna is in the rear window. The 2011 ES350 loaner car I am driving seems to be having the same issue. Is this common on Lexus cars?

I listen to mostly Sirius/XM, but when I do listen to the radio, the FM is clear at all times. And the AM is as clear as can be expected.

I have the same issue with my 07' GS350. The issue was happening every time I put on the rear defroster. I took the car to Lexus, but they told me that they "DO NOT KNOW" why and what the issue is! So, I called Lexus Corp office and they told me that Lexus would go half and cover 50% of the total price of replacement of the back glass.
I did not replace the glass, but when I got my windows tinted...the problem seemed to just go away. Weird, but it worked.
