dab radio

Hi all,

just a quick one for the audio guys, have been looking at some head units to go in the 75 in particular ones that have dab radio.

so I would like to know if you need a special type of aerial to work on these units for the dab to work or will it just plug and play

You'll need a DAB aerial & good reception

Moved to "ICE" btw

I can't live without DAB in my cars as it opens up a new world of listening pleasures.

I have put a Pure unit into the the Ztt - they were sold exclusively through Halfords. I connected it to a "through glass" ariel attached to the Nearside rear rear most window .

Reception is brilliant.

I have a powered Kinetik roof mount ariel I have thought about adding to the car but fear it will make it loot like an Astra.

DAB on wheels is the site I have used to get my bits from - they give comparability tables and ratings for performance so you can make informed choices

Have also got the Pure DAB radio fitted with an internal aerial that sticks to the inside of the windscreen, only time I have lost signal is driving through Shap on M6
