The DAB antenna for the estate version is incorporated into the rear side window. At least on my mk3 Octavia 1.6 TDI of 2014. I have the same issue. In most cases where I switch on the rear window heating, DAB Radio stops working. I'm about to receive a new (to me) mk4 1.4 TSI PHEV estate in a week or 2. It's simply incredible to hear that this issue hasn't been solved.

Hi Mark, The Skoda dealers i contacted first and some VAG Specialist garages all denied it could be the problem. They all wanted to replace wheel bearings or repair the gearbox. But reading some forums I was certain it had to be the gearbox-support. So I insisted and my local garage listened and fixed it. The gearbox support can be replaced from under the hood. It’s located under the battery (for a left hand driven car) Good luck.
