If this is the case, I think it is very disapointing. Normally, DAB radios have an user defined option of what information is shown on the display. As I don't have integrated DAB in my 07 SE, I have fitted a Pure Highway, which works very well (a couple of lengths of black velcro on the dash hold it a treat) and it gives a scrolling display of song and artist. I normally use an external aeriel but find a DAB radio works fairly well just connected to the nearside rear window aerial (even without the amp). Another thread mentions the roof dome containing a DAB aerial but I believe this is for Band L, which is not in general use in the UK (we are band 3, I think). My previous Vectra Design had DAB as standard with lots of bells so it is a pain that a so-called superior car does not have this throughout the range. If it wasn't wet and windy, I would go out to the car and have a look at the manual, which should tell you how to bring up the different displays. |

You can change the size of the display by pressing the green phone button

I'm not any help at all as I haven't sussed it all out yet, but I am impressed with the sound quality with DAB, I switched between the same station on FM and DAB and what a difference. |

I'm surprised that you find DAB reception better than FM. In theory, FM should normally beat 'current' DAB for sound quality, with a good aerial and receiver connected correctly (the experts claim it is partly to do with limited bit rates on DAB broadcasts).
