Radio interference!!
JPC:
Right, problem guys. Radio reception is great whilst the engine is off. When I go to start the car, forget it. Sounds like White noise when the ignition is on. I had this before with my mk4. It was because I had cheap hid ballasts.
I've tried turning the headlights off, heater off, ac off but I'm still getting interference! Doing my head in cos my iPod is far from updated! Haha!

Could it be your aerial is earthing on the body at some-point? caught in a screw, etc? Or is running along next to another wire with live current?
Does the interference increase with engine speed? Used to get this on my focus when listening to AM, made it sound like a race car if you de-tuned from a station.
JPC:
could be that! god knows! sounds like a can of worms!!
And no, it doesnt change with engine speed, but thats FM, never even had my RNS on AM
Richn83:
Have you tinkered with anything since the radio reception went bad? and did you go for the adpater lead for the aerials or just removing the plastic housing? maybe try AM to see if you get the same issue?
