DAB radio an option on Trend?

Postby tt225 » Sun Mar 03, 2019 2:47 pm

I`m in the process of upgrading my old MK7 (LWB GLX for sale soon hopefully) to a MK8, the spec I`m after is a RWD Trend L3 H2 possibly H3, Magnetic Grey with aircon, alloys and a DAB radio and preferably with the newer 130ps engine. You`d have thought it wouldn`t be that difficult but I can only find two at less than £17000 excl. vat, one is on a 17 and the other a 67 and only a few months between them. The thing is the 67 doesn't have a DAB radio just the am/fm but the 17 has it as standard, apparently Ford changed the options list in 2017 and that's why some later ones don`t have the DAB - is that correct? Not sure how easy it is to retrofit a DAB tuner into the later van but any info would be good.


The other thing is if Ford made the DAB an option in 2017, what else did they change to standard/optional fit on a Trend?


Thanks

My mate ordered a new trend at the end of 2016 and he ordered the dab option with few other options, so don't think that's correct about Fords taking dab away. I ordered my trend at the end of 2017 and also added the dab option so again not standard
