DAB Upgrade Compatibility

Hi Guys,

Just bought a 60 plate a few days ago and looking to give it a bit of TLC. First on my list was to look at something simple like upgrading the radio to receive DAB. Laughing

I feel I may be flogging a dead horse so I'll try be brief.

Would buying this kit work for upgrading the aerial/head unit to receive DAB signal https://www.connects2.co.uk/Product/ProductItem/CTDAB-LR2

I know it says Discovery but finding one for a Freelander seems to be as fruitful as extracting blood from a stone...

Any help and/or advice would be great!

Keep it standard and save up for those unexpected repairs. Rolling Eyes

Bring forward some of the extended service items and you are heading into saving money in the long term. Thumbs Up FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Thanks Stuart. The pics on that post aren't working for me. Are they still there or have they been removed?

Most probably because I'm at work and they are blocked. I'll check back tonight. Looks like this might have to be a job for later while I source all the parts and see if I can find a DAB module!

So it seems my next question would be where can I get one of them from? Google isn't bringing up much and I fear I may have to start rummaging round the local scrappers Confused

I have all the parts you need for the DAB retrofit into a 2010 model, send me a pm with your email address, we'll work something out. I have a friend in Essex who can do the programming to enable it as well. 2008 Freelander 2 HSE Si6 Black/Black - Hers
