dab

The DAB reception on my 2018 C43 convertable is very poor and cuts on/off all the time whilst driving in different areas due to lack of signal strength. The Mercedes dealer says that there is nothing wrong with the car and Comand radio unit, and adds that most Mercedes cars have poor DAB...

Hi All, Recently bagged myself a 67 Plate GLA for a great price and it's in great condition and under mileage. However ive had to give up a few features and wondering if there is a way I can get them installed/ is it possible? 1) DAB Radio - I don't have this any more. Just FM/AM radio...

Is DAB+ a software update for my 2012 E300? It certainly has DAB but some stations have disappeared. Thanks

I bought one of these from eBay as suggested (Genuine Mercedes A001827004 Media Interface) Unfortunately, it didn't connect to my iPod lead in the glove box (which was factory fitted). It was completely the wrong plug. So, I then bought one of the these ....3.5mm AUX Audio Jack Cable to 30 Pin...

Hi, today I have just been bequeathed a low mileage immaculate 2007 C220 CDI (a W203 I think). It has the iPod connector in the glove box. I want to get an aftermarket DAB/Bluetooth radio unit so I can listen to DAB stations as well as play music and receive phone calls from my iPhone via...

Am purchasing a 2003 SL350. It has a stereo/basic GPS, Bluetooth for telephone only .. I need a system that has Bluetooth for telephone & music, DAB, SAT NAV (live) ... not bothered about video ... (NO Bose speakers) .... Can anyone advise on what/where/when/how please? many thanks in advance! :)

Hi all, Trying to figure out the best way to add DAB to my w211.I like the standard factory fitted Comand system. So have been looking at DAB adapters. Not trying to sound to picky but not really up for anything on the dash unless its subtle and definitely don't want a cigarette lighter power...

Hello i recently bought a C Class C220 but i want DAB radio, is there any easy way in doing this or do i need to replace the radio and how would that work with the screen at the top?

Hello Everybody. I am now the proud owner of my first MB and i love it!! one question. Can i get DAB on my stereo. I am sure i tapped into Rock FM and 5 Live but cant seem to navigate my way to it. was it a dream? Cheers MB fellow owners.

Hi all, I have been reading around the forums about retrofitting the dab unit. I have the Comand Online unit with Audio 20, and found oem DAB units on the well known auction site. I would like to keep it original but don't want to spend £1000+ on it, especially when the part can be sourced so...

Hi everybody. Was just after a bit of advice as i have searched google high and low without a definite answer. I have a 2012 C220 CDI, and as far as i know its the command standard radio cd changer unit (everything except sat nav). Recently i have been a problem with the DAB radio which seems...

Quick back story: Bought 2011 S204 C Class AMG Sport in late Dec from indy dealer. Took it straight to MB and registered it with them, took out service plan. Apart from the last service by the indy, the car has full main dealer history. I asked MB for a print out of the history and any...

Hey, Wanted to give some advice regarding DAB Radio signal problems you may be experiencing as I have been. Have seen on older posts before many people experienced this with Mercedes DAB. Having purchased my 2014 E Coupe (Facelift) Mercedes a few months back, I had noticed that the DAB...

This morning I was at the Radio Digital Countdown conference in London. The SMMT (Society of Motor Manufacturers & Traders) released some data overnight that revealed 74.1% of cars sold in the UK in Q3 this year came with DAB as a standard fit. Anyway, at the conference we saw a slide showing...

Hi, I have a C Class Estate 2008 W204 C 200 CDI that has just gone through the 100K mileage barrier and I'm still not bored of it. Hopefully, I'll get another 100K out of it. However, a few months ago the DAB radio option on my Audio 20 system 'disappeared'. I can still cycle around the radio...

Hello I've had a great deal of trouble with my roof mounted antenna since about last year. I think its time for a replacement now, and instead of simply swapping the mast, I think a new cable is in order. I've been told that a good quality antenna will come with a matched cable - and in order...

Anyone recommend and after-market DAB aerial which has matching tech specs for an AutoDAB ADL-MC1? Assuming the aerial lead will suffice and it's just a case of swapping the shark-fin aerial and soldering the relevant terminals? Thanks in advance.

Just purchased a new ML350 and finding DAB reception is very poor, compared to my previous Lexus. Seems to cut out regularly in spots the Lexus virtually never did. Is there anything which can be done (aftermarket retro-fits ?) to improve the DAB reception ?. Thanks

Hi all, Thought I'd start a new thread from the AutoDAB one, as I've now had a Pure Highway 300Di installed in my B160. I initially had problems with my original installation a few weeks ago, however Pure have been very helpful and a new unit was fitted (at their expense) at my preferred...

Hi all. I've recently got a B160. As expected it doesn't come with a DAB radio. In my old C180K I had a JVC DAB head unit fitted. However I do quite like the new style Audio20. I have my car booked in to a garage on Friday to fit an AutoDAB. What I like about the AutoDAB is that the box...
