Is it DAB or analogue radio?  In some cases, the radio antenna is integrated into the rear window (the wire's laminated into the glass) alongside the heated windscreen wires.  Wonder if something has gone awry with it and they are interfering with each other  :undecided:

Mine has this setup but not had any problems using the de-mister with either DAB or am/fm radio at all.

This explains the various radio/nav aerial set ups. http://www.my-gti.com/2742/aerial-information-for-volkswagen-golf-mark-vi
