dab

Posting this as a new thread as well as it's not just the E class. So, like RAS, I have been working with my MB service team (Solihull and excellent chaps), and basically we agreed a few months ago that this was a long term problem and they would escalate the MB. They rang me last week and...

hi all silly question according to the data card that a dealer printed for me my 08 e class sport has dab radio. so how do I select it (if it is fitted !)

It seems a bit odd to me that M-B stick radios in new SLs that do not have DAB as standard. My old C Class had it, so why is it a cost extra on a more expensive "flagship" model? Anyway rant over. My SL does not have DAB, therefore I need to look for alternatives if I want to listen to Test...

Hi guys, First time poster here. Wondering if anyone could help. I'm look for after market xenon headlamps for my W209 but all the ones I find are for LHD cars. My car currently has halogens and I want to upgrade them. Ideall I'd like ones that look like the factory ones but don't cost a...

My new car came with this fitted but I don't need it. It's only a few weeks old but the only thing is it comes with no leads, it was professionally fitted and one cable has been tie wraped to the loom behind the dash and the other disappears behind the airbag next to the windscreen :doh:. I...

I am looking to get DAB installed in my R231 SL. I'm happy I know what is involved and approximate costs. MB in Cambridge say it can't be done, which I understand really means there is no official MB worksheet telling them how to do it. I have a local indie I've used before and I know they have...

Hi all I know there are vast amount of posts regarding the matter, but those which have the answers, are quite old. What would be the cost of retrofitting DAB to W204, Dec 2012 with the Command? There was a link in some other thread, suggesting the cost would be around £700. As this was two...

I am finally able to get over to Alfie & Mark (next week) for a Comand 2.5 retrofit on my Vito. I have already specified iPod connectivity but should I get DAB radio? Is it any good? Is there anything else that's worth adding on or upgrading?

For some unknown reason, whenever I start my car, the DAB radio switches to 'Absolute Radio'. I always listen to Radio 2, and up until a couple of days ago, it would always boot up on Radio 2. Now it decides to retune itself to Absolute for some reason! I've gone through the menus but can't...

Can't believe my E350 COUPE CDI 2013 cost new 47K ( not by me I add) has not got DAB !!!:devil: didn't think to check when I purchased the car, checked out everything else bar this , very disappointed, sadly I have become accustomed to stealers attitudes, he just shrugged his shoulders and...

We (comand.co.uk) are now offering DAB for the NTG3, 3.5 and 4 types of comand at a much more competive price. NTG3 is the W216 CL / W221 S from around 2006 to mid 2009. NTG 3.5 is in the same vehicles but from mid 2009 onward NTG4 is for the W204 c class from 2007 to mid 2011 plus the...

Im getting modding fever again Can you plumb more than one input into the aux input? I currently have the MB ipod kit, but wanted to fit a DAB radio too, i was wondering if there would be an issue if i also wired the Aux Jack input in, but obviously only used one of the inputs at a time...

Who can recommend one and on what basis, I have DAB in the E500 (much better than the BMW DAB) and need it in the soon to arrive Murano. I am aware you can modulate into a frequency or plug into the actual aerial socket or look for an aux (dunno if I have one of those - Murano forums are not...

I am upgrading to the Pioneer 950dab unit as I am moving to an Android phone so want Nav built in. I have the unit along with the Pioneer cable so you can use the iPhone in App mode, ie for traffic, google, audio streaming and nav. It is all boxed and mint condition. Purchased about...

I have a 2011 c204 with DAB radio but I can't get it to work I'm in N Ireland just wondered if anyone knew of any issues around radio networks

Hi all, I am thinking about getting a DAB/CD/Blutooth/ radio for my S124, any advice as to: is it worth changing to DAB, what brand/make, is it easy to fit, etc? Thanks in advance, Stav.

Help please. I have a 2008 W204 with full Comand including all the funtions of Comand ie IPOD etc but when using the DAB Radio apart from the usual station information I cannot get any info to appear when I select the INFO option, is this a fault or is there something I need to do? I believe I...

Hello, I have a car with DAB installed as std. I can pick up lots of radio stations but some of them (not all of them) don't load the additional data (like the now and next info). In particular Planet Rock (which I know does now and next) shows as "No Info". Three weeks ago, (before I sold...

Hi All, I have a 2010 E class coupe with the audio 20, the original options list says it has a DAB tuner, however i cannot find a way to access this on the audio 20 system. Any help appreciated! Cheers, Sam

Wow! What a difference!! I have tried a couple of internal dab aerials, they are all pretty pants, different levels of crap to be honest. Put a Kinetic DRA6003 on the other day and the difference is stunning, the location where I fitted it I could not get any reception at all with...
