Default RF induction in car radio

I installed a VFH/UHF radio in a 1997 Grand Cherokee. The RF antenna
is approximately two feet horizontally, and slightly higher from the
Jeep's radio receive antenna. If I was listening to the vehicle radio
and keyed the VHF radio, it would mute the vehicle radio. The vehicle
radio finally is no longer working, except for one station. I am
assuming an induction problem. Technically, what exactly happened,
how, or not to fix the vehicle radio. How to prevent this problem in
the future. I raise this question not so much for the sake of the
Jeep, but because I am proposing to a put a VHF/UHF rig in the lady's
2005 Honda Accord. The only viable place on the car is a trunk mount.
It appears the car radion antenna is embedded in the rear glass and I
believe this area is also where the XM radio antenna is located. I
have tried to contact Honda on various levels but have had no success.
I am wondering if I put the VHF radio in the car, will it "burn out"
the other radios. This should give something for a lot of
conversation. I hope I can get some help.

Thanks,
Ethan Davis KB3EGG
