I recall @Blobcat posted a thread about adding a DAB tuner to his FM Radio, I think this is the one?

Adding Nextbase DAB

As Ebay sent me a £5 voucher and I missed not having DAB I bought a Nextbase DAB250 from this ebay link for £17.95 delivered so even if it's not great I'm not too far out of pocket. :) Box arrived this morning so this afternoon I installed it Torx driver and trip tools out (handy having a...

Very impressed with the Nextbase, I even fitted one to the Bike...
Cabled into the aux in ( 3.5mm audio jack) and it works really well.

I am going to have to see how they are fitted, not sure Keith will be happy if there are wires trailing around and he really isn't interested in this Mercedes and hasn't been since we bought it so I'm going to have to sort it
