Bumpgot this a few months ago - Amazon product ASIN B07FL1NRRT
easy to install and use and terrific signal, better than in my wifes car with in huilt DAB, i'd recommend it highly
only issue is getting the receiver to stick to your windscreen, i solved that with a bit of velcro and double sided tape and fixing it to the pillar between the windscreen and passenger door

just bought a new car with DAB and it sounds so much better than FM plus lots more channels, only trouble im having is i will lose reception and its happening quite a lot,radio screen saying no reception,comes back on after about 5 seconds but very anoying, do you get this?, maybe its the shark fin antena im using 'there not rated' so proably better paying for a good one from a car audio shop

think il pop down car audio tomorrow,looking at £35 for the recomended antena, got to be better than the standard car maker quality, trouble is once you have had this you dont want to go back to FM,cheersIt happens but mostly in obvious black spots, otherwise it's an excellent piece of kit for a car with no inbuilt dab!
i know what you mean there mate,we collected the car from Bury and returned the back way to preston via haslingden accrington and the lot went offIn the Mancunian areas we have no problem. When we travel back into our hills it all goes dreadfully wrong. No Heart, no Smooth FM and no nothing. We can get FM stations like the bbc but we do not tune in as we are non license holders and also the music's piss poor and their disk jockeys tend to chat shit more often than not.
We're like a clan of the invisible man and were not really here!
That's the one matey and reception wise anything on the heady climb through Rozzendorf and up the Grane road is impossible. We just normally hum to ourself until we reach the M65.

Had to re-tune my car dab earlier today by 'seeking' 6music. Took me 4 miles to find it. Tons of stations in manc area, even get pirate.Anyone else feel that DAB is a bit pointless with the limited choice on offer?
Radio 6 which I'm not a massive fan of but appreciate it's long playlist, various genres, ages of music etc. Also a few of the channels for sports like Radio 5 Live Sports Extra, Talksport etc.
Otherwise it's just like 'my first playlist' of a small number of genres on each station. They only ever play the big songs that you've heard loads of times before and never seem to play any 'hidden gems'.
I honestly think that the few stations on FM/AM are better than the dozens of one dimensional stations that DAB is filled with.
