DAB Radio conversion for 2013 C250 (W204)

[Keiron Parkinson]

Hi all,

I've owned my C-Class estate for around a month now, and the only thing I can fault the car for is not having a DAB radio.

Has anyone had any experience of converting the radio to DAB, or is it simpler just to play the DAB radio through your phone via Bluetooth? I do this now but I must admit, it's easier when you have a DAB radio as I had in my old car.

Thanks in advance for any response.

Thanks for the quick response! That's interesting.. I have an unused USB port and 3.5mm jack in the glovebox so wonder if these could be used for a DAB unit..

The 3.5mm jack would be ideal, I have the iPod interface so have to use the RF transmitter. Very happy with the DAB reception and don’t have to retune the RF that often.

Alternatively, full DAB integration done properly is £699

Comand are forum sponsors and well regarded on here but I think you will be pushed to justify spending £699.
