Hi All,
Picking up a 15 plate Custom tomorrow, air con, cruise, bluetooth but no DAB radio, I’ve read you can get the radio upgraded to DAB.Has anybody had this done? And where was it done and how much?
Thanks in advance.
Mick

Thanks for reply.
Would it work with the steering wheel controls? And where would I get them from?
Cheers Mick

It works by transmitting to the existing FM channel on the radio.
I use an aerial converter to utilise the existing aerial as a DAB one.
All steering wheel controls remain the same. You just have a small remote control for the Dab Motion unit, which I mounted in the overhead cubby hole.

You'll have to look round the internet for one, they were discontinued recently.
Some on eBay at the moment..

Other than that, an Autodab FM will do it.
