Thanks Mr K,
I'll try that. Though I upgraded to RNS-E recently I'll pop my RNS-D back and will play with menus.
...not completely sure though what all those numbers mean
But we'll see
Searched other forums. People with the same problem say that
changing rear window (!) cured the problem.

I don't really understand as to why it's the window itself -- when demister if off the FM reception is great. I remember I've checked my rear window when it was cold and all heating "threads" were actually working, so there's no apparent visible damage.
Any more thoughts?
P.S.
I wonder why car industry integrate aerials to windscreen -- because it's cheaper or because reception is better vs traditional rod aerial?
Frankly, I don't want to change rear windscreen if it actually causes the problem. I have car with rod type of aerial on the rear fender and it has that little box (amplifier?) under the aerial and it has unused "Radio" socket:
I'm thinking to connect that socket directly with radio unit, bypassing the windscreen system, but not sure about reception quality. Could anyone comment about that "amplifier" and technical feasibility of such "upgrade"?
Anyway, there are 3 sockets on the little box:
1. Funk, GSM 900-1800, connected with another "signal amplifier" and then with GSM module.
2. RC, 433Mhz. Have no idea what it is.
3. FM Radio and +12 DC.
At the moment only socket number one is actually used in my car.
Could anyone explain please what's is the socket number 2 -- "RC 433Mhz" ? Remote Control I suspect...
