DAB Radio

[DKZ5745]

Every time I turn the radio on its either adverts or somebody talking about what they had for breakfast. Hardly ever bother with it myself

Today I finally got the AutoDAB unit added to the RT6 unit on my 2014 RCZ R. I now have a tidy little aerial attached to the inside of the windscreen and a remote control fob. It is amazing how my local dealer said it could not be done and I would have to replace the whole existing unit to get DAB functionality at the cost of £1800. It was worth the 80 mile round trip to get it fitted for £248.

I got this fitted to my car from dealer before taking delivery.I find it is great.Just have to use the flip i suppose is a little annoying.But apart from that all is good. :thumbup:

Hi, excuse my ignorance on this one. Does the dab radio tune in to a preset. Fm station? If so is there a problem with interference, or is there a more advanced way?
Also which model of dab radio did you have fitted?

Regards,

Andy

Yes it tunes into a preset on the fm.They usually use no6. There is no interference but the dab stations are linited in poor signal areas.The flipper comes with a holder which you could secure to the dash at a suitable point.I keep mine just in dash storage tray.You just tune it in once and use the flipper to move up and down the channels as required.info is displayed on screen,Radio station.Artist and song title in a scrolling title at bottom.A small dab aeriel is attached to the screen on left.I would not consider trying to fit the kit,just get it done by Dealer or radio fitter.

Thanks very much wrapper. Sounds quite viable for the price. Which fitter did you use? Are they a national company?

Sorry for all the questions?

Have a good one,

Andy.
