Retrofitting DAB radio?

Post by inkey$ » Tue Oct 04, 2011 6:49 pm

Anybody know of a unit, adaptor etc that could be fixed up to the pro Logic Nav system and provide DAB radio?

Failing an integrated solution I'm also looking at Aux-in and one of these...

:D Agree it's pony at times. And not like you can re-tune when the signal is lost either. Just on or off. Think I might go down the AUX-in route then can use it on the train commute too.

I've got DAB running through the Intravee which works perfectly via the nav screen and looks totally OEM. Not the cheapest solution, you need to find a long since obsolete Alpine TUA- 100DAB unit on ebay which normally costs in excess of £180 and sometimes well over £200.
