As i informed, the printed-circuit like antenna in the rear glass have
incorporated a preamplifier.
This preamplifier need a voltage supplied via the same coaxial cable that
comes from the antena.
The solution, as must be done by some radio equipment ,is to fed voltage and
put a capacitor that goes to the aerial input of the receiver in order to
separate radio frequencies from de DC voltage (12) of the power supplier. I
assume this must be the solution and some standard receivers does separation
and feeding inside the equipment.
Check it.
