Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a DAB dongle etc.. that goes into the back of your car stereo? or a type of areial (excuse spelling) that receives the DAB starions? and if so where to get them?

you have to get a headunit that is DAB ready and then also a DAB ariel. dont quote me on this but im sure one of the docs can point you in the right direction

unfortunatly you would need to buy a DAB radio reciever for it to work (can be v.expensive), its basically a box that has a DAB ariel attatched, it contains all the nessescary DAB electronics, and it goes through the AUX function on a head unit, i think JVC make such a box but ive never seen one, i dont know where you could get one from either

hope thats of some help

Screw that idea then! i just bought MDX-M690, Oh well, as the market gets bigger, prices should come down!

M690's a reasonable unit, i prefer the MD format too, cant scratch the discs... (MADMAX)

DAB's fairly pointless anyway IMHO. And I don't think the prices are going to come down any time soon, the recievers are so much more complicated than analogue radio. Just more marketing men trying to force us to buy stuff we don't need or want.

i know vauxhall added a dab receiver in some of their new cars and i believe blaupunkt (spelling?) make all the equipment for vauxhall, or at least they used to, they should come down in price normal dab radios are under £50 quid now, one good reason for dab is the incraese in stations you can choose from shame most of them are lame, :grin:
