Hi.Not tooknowledgeable, but I know it has a 6 disc multichanger.Is this helpful at all?
Thanks for your help!

If it has a 6 disc changer, the DAB was an option. Replacement isn't straightforward, as the HU is used by several other modules in the vehicle like the PDC system, Ipack and CJB for time keeping functions. Additionally there's a power amplifier in the boot, which drives the speakers, which won't work with anything other than the factory HU.

There is a way to retrofit DAB, but a lot of technical skill is needed, as wiring, and electronic programming is needed. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car.

Ah right!Is there any other way to get a DAB service?

Really appreciate this!

Sell car & but one with digital. There will be far less fluffing around.

There are plenty of threads on upgrading hi-fi. It is painful to say the least. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

There used to be DAB adapters which converted the DAB signal to an FM signal which the HU could then pick up, this may be a simple way to achieve what you are looking for.

I used to have a Pure Highway In Car DAB 400. It was really very good. Gave really good DAB reception, bluetooth audio from a mobile and also handsfree calling. Just plugs into the aux in of the car. FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - so many issues

Sold DS for a 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Fingers crossed....
Sold Outlander for a 2014 SD4 SE Tech because I’m mental
Now greatly regret selling the Outlander. MPG of the FL2 is atrocious and so are the fuel bills. Fun though 😎
Couldn’t afford the fuel bills so back to an older Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Significantly better than I remembered it to be…
