I always listen to Absolute Radio in the car, keep getting a message saying from 17th May they are going over to digital so the FM we are currently listening to will be going. Pretty sure our radio is analogue so what do I do :eek:

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

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 :shock:

Vote with your wallet Lyn and get a local ICE mob to fit it for you - that's what I did when the Comand centre control knob shaft in my S204 needed changing!

There are no wires training anywhere, all hidden behind the dash

I've got a number of radios around the house, even got a bathroom mirror with an integrated DAB radio which is 9yrs old, so why does my 5yr old car not come with one :rolleyes:
