dab

Please can you help me gather some information. This is applicable to facelift C Class cars with Audio 20 only, and specifically Audio 20 integration with the Becker Nav unit and the DAB radio option. Please respond 'other' if you have both problems (I should have added a poll option for the...

My W210 E300 came to me sans radio. Thankfully, a work colleague has lent me a Blaupunkt Woodstock 52 DAB head unit with a view to buy. I installed the radio without a hitch but only the standard aerial. The DAB antenna is a coaxial type affair that has 2 end pieces that mount either side of...

Hi all. It has been decided that in 2016 broadcasts on the FM band will cease in Norway. From then only DAB will be available. What options am I left with in my 2005 W211 with Comand????

How do those of you using DAB find the reception ? I had an Audi A4 wuth a DAB radio and it was fantastic with no break up on routes to work etc. The Merc DAB,on the other hand, is a nightmare cutting out all the time. I have rung the garage and they will take a look but i just wondered if ,in...

Dab reception in my C Class (side rear window aerial I think) is not as good as in my old Audi A4 with a roof top aerial. Has anyone on here fitted an aftermarket Dab aerial and if so with what results ?

Does anyone know of any way to reset DAB on a w204? I sent my car in for body work a couple of weeks ago - and just got it back. The DAB ensembles I should receive are: BBC National, Cambridge, and National. However, as the bodyshop is in Norwich, when I first set it back to DAB (was on FM)...

I want to improve the ice in the CL and as I mainly listen to the radio on my commute I decided to look at DAB solutions. A new device on the market is a black box that will (allegedly) send graphics to comand, use wheel controls and the cars aerial I've asked the installer to get in writing...

So i am doing some "research" :p on all these MOST based units that are available as a bluetooth phone connectivity, ipod, a2dp solutions etc. Dension is out of the game because it lacks serious bluetooth phone connectivity support (even with the extra module there are serious limitations...

Hi, My W204 220 CDi went in for a service recently and I asked the MB dealer how much it would cost to retrofit a DAB unit to my Audio 20 with UMI. After the service they told me it was not possible.............are they correct or did they just not want to do it? Cheers, Geoff.

It's all working ok, but the problem is that DAB always resets itself to Kerrang as the default station each time I get into the car. Usually listen to Radio 2 so you can imagine this is annoying. Drive home, radio 2. Switch car off. Get back into car in the morning and switch on, bloody...

My DAB radio in my C63 AMG has over the the last few weeks gradually lost the signal, it now displays, no signal, what's the problem

Hi all, I have just received my first Merc, and am over the moon with it. The dealer, however, seemed to have no idea about the extras it had. They advised me that it did not have DAB, and that it would cost £1500 - £2000 to add on. They also told me it did not have a speed limiter, only...

I would like to thank Mark ( Alfie ) and Richard of Comand Ltd for fitting DAB to the CL. What a painless exercise, a pleasure to watch someone that knows what they are doing. Many thanks.

STIC reuseable active inside glass mount DAB car aerial on eBay (end time 03-Mar-11 14:08:01 GMT) Hi, has anyone used one of these, I have just bought a Blaupunkt Woodstock DAB54 and need an aerial for the DAB. The 210 300TD has the internal aerial on the rear n/s window and there are no...

The press are saying that analogue radio will end in 5 yrs, and that DAB will be the only option. What options will those of us with analogue comand systems have?

Hi, hoping someone can help. Yesterday, I installed COMAND in my w204. All working fine so far. However, on my Audio 20 unit I had DAB radio. My understanding is that this is fitted in addition to the HU. I therefore believed it would just work on the COMAND. It doesn't. I have accessed...

Today is a good day. I bought my first ever MB. w204 C220 auto sport in black. Can't wait to pick it up tomorrow! Question though. I have purchased COMAND HU and screen. Just waiting for the rest of the parts, including the axial blower and ducting. The car currently has DAB though. If I...

Hi I've had my new C350 CDI for for a couple of weeks now and finding it great. However, I wondered if the forum can help. The car was specced at the factory with Audio-20, 6 CD changer and DAB, but before delivery the dealer fitted the latest UMI to provide iPod connection and Sat Nav...
