A couple of people have mentioned the radio when referencing this unit, is this unit also the radio receiver? My radio works fine, but I have noticed that when using the rear screen heater, the radio reception is affected and I can see that the screen heater is also plugged into the unit.
Presuming the unit has been affected by water, I have looked for signs of this but can't see any problems, drainage routes seem to be channels rather than pipes or ducts that could have been blocked, I have left the trim off for now and will have a look the next time the car gets wet, or I will try a bucket of water if it doesn't rain soon, typical living in England in the Spring and we are not getting any rain, that never happens!

Like THIB mentioned in his reply...the aerial antenna for the remote key is embedded in the rear left cargo area window. See the image below for the location of the
FZV (central locking system) aerial antenna that you'll find in the Tourings and SAVs (not in the rear window but the side cargo window on the rear left):
There is a module that the wiring connects to before it gets to the diversity antenna/amp that was previously pictured. (see pic below for location of the
back-up antenna and the hardware that secures it to the body of the car...make sure those connections are secure and not corroded)
- Release screws (1).
- Remove back-up antenna (2) and disconnect associated plug connection.
