DAB Radio

[David P]

Hi folks

I've got a ML270 cdi with the radio/cassette in the dash and a CD autochanger in the back. Thing is, I don't play CD's anymore - I use my ipod - and I am a DAB convert.

Has anyone fitted a DAB radio yet? What did you use and how did it go?

Thanks

You are just a few weeks to early, as I will be doing an install soon, and I will report back

Do you not have DAB in your freeview TV.

No, that's digital radio, the snag with that it is fine if you are only motoring around the area of the transmitter. With dab you can just re tune, or some will do it automatically as you change area coverage.

I can go into AV2 and use a spare TV antenna wire, as dab is transmitted horizontal, the same as FM.

Though I could make up a video board that displays the station name and details, as the video on the move is blanked, so there is little point in doing that.

It will have to be the type that has a next station button or chan up or down so that these can be extended

Hey TV!

Any news on this?

I keep toying with the idea of one of these . Not too keen on a windscreen mount but I'm sure that could be overcome.

Time permitting I will start this week
