They are all related - it sounds like the elements on your rear window(s) have been damaged by something you've had in the back of the car :smile_smoking:

Problem Solved...new rear (audi) windows at a cost of £400 all in. Alarm is no longer sounding, radio signal is much better and rear heated window also working well.
Whether this was caused by a pet in the boot or the removal of tints I will never know. Bought this car a matter of months ago and zero assistance from the dealer, another lesson learnt !
