Anyone upgraded to a DAB radio
Been thinking about fitting a DAB radio.
Went to Halfords to take a look at one. They said I would also need:- harness to make it work with steering wheel controls. DAB aerial Facia this all seems to add a lot to the cost Did you need to fit all of the above and if so can you recommend any? This is the one I was looking at Sony MEX-N7300BD macafee2 |

Hi,
I had a look at an "add on" unit 18 months or so ago. Thread here: https://the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/s...&highlight=dab Abandoned as the results were not as good as FM. However, DAB has doubtless come on since then and I've been in several newer cars - including a 2010 BMW 320D - with DAB as standard and they were fine. Maybe a chat with Jubarelly would be worthwhile? He'll be the guy who knows what's what. Andy. |

I fitted a Pioneer Dab a couple of years ago Ian, works perfectly, along with usb port for an I-Pod or memory stick. The aerial is included, sticks to the windscreen and earthed to the pillar. All I needed was a fascia, about £14, & a BMW to ISO connector with steering wheel control.

Hi I have fitted a Pioneer DEH-4900DAB and very pleased with it Will but a link below I also Got CTSRV006.2 connect so I have full Steering Wheel control..
If I was you I would ask for the CTSRV006.2 instead of the one in the kit. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ROVER-75-...53.m2749.l2649 I have used it up North and Scotland and been happy with it and like the fact I can play my CD to. All The best which ever one you go for Les

Please note what ever you decide to get make certain it supports DAB+ not just DAB, otherwise a lot of stations will not be receivable. Merry Christmas |

If you have a double din which connects to the Internet like some of the later navalls or xtrons do, just download a radio app, connect to the Internet via your mobile as a hot-spot and get crystal clear Internet radio for no extra cost, uses very little data
