Yes I was very disappointed to see that Planet Rock broadcast in 64Kbps Mono

DAB is supposed to be the future of radio.

DAB is the future of radio, but not necessarily for the benefit of the listener!

DAB broadcast costs increases by bitrate, higher bitrate=bigger bill for broadcaster thats why they not interested to transmit in higher bitrates

If the single slot loads a 6 disc changer you want the same as me... tba.. if it's not the 6-disc changer according to what I read in several places you are out of luck as no MOST loop on that version..
speaking of delay changing channels I notice that most of the a166 part number (no good to me) DAB modules state 'doppel tuner', obviously dual tuner so I guess superior when it comes to changing channels or moving between areas??

I actually think mine is the same as yours now so it should be possible, I hope. The option to add a dab module is in the menu's somewhere, just greyed out.

Finally found one MERCEDES BENZ DIGITAL RADIO DAB RECEIVER A2048705490 | eBay so gonna give this a try in the next couple of weeks... what's the deal with the sharks fin on the roof, is mine empty, and anybody removed the headlining for a look?

You just want to buy a DAB aerial for a VW RNS unit.

FAKRA DAB ANTENNA DIGITAL RADIO AERIAL VW RCD RNS 510 315 AUDI MMI Ford Sony | eBay

Remove the Fakra plug and stick it in your dab module.

The factory dab aerial is in the side windows, not the shark fin, and crap.

2010, not sure but think ntg4, are you gonna tell me I bought the wrong module? If so at least i’ve Got the electrical plug feel free to come have a look for me...

 

[Scrote]

Looks like it must be ntg4, give me some good news please.....

 

[gIzzE]

I think that is the right unit for the NTG4, just that this was the NTG4.5 thread.

Sorry to bump an old thread. I have DAB already fitted to my audio 20 as standard in my 2013 W204 C250 but get very poor reception and wanted to fit a amplified screen aerial (I had one of these on my previous BMW using a Autodab unit) and the reception was outstanding. I located my DAB tuner in the boot and I have a SMB-Fakra converter. The unit doesn't appear to have a 'normal' fakra plug, it has a twin pink plug with one wire coming out am I right in saying thats the plug that goes to the OE dab antenna?
