Retrofit DAB/DB+ Radio

Due to that the FM has short life in EU (2018?) I want to investigate the better way to retrofit the DAB receiver....

I want a system fully integrated on the car system, so the ways are:

1st solution
Retrofitting the original DAB Module (only DAB)

2nd solution
Instal the in2digi d-jv-2 module, it's seems the only one fully integrated with the car system (DAB and DAB+ with Band III support).

https://www.in2digi.com/products/d-jv-2/


Any opinion? experiences on this module?





From the in2digi site:
The D-JV-2 is a DAB and DAB+ system for Jaguar and LandRover vehicles with MOST fibre optic GEN1, GEN2 and GEN2.1 systems.

It has an inbuilt phantom feed and can therefore replace the factory DAB only tuner in countries with DAB+ transmission or can be retrofitted to a vehicle as it is supported for retrofit by the JLR factory/dealer diagnosis system.


Features:
DAB and DAB+ Band III Support
Digital “all the way” from transmitter to amplifier. (no internal analogue connection)
CE approved
Metal shielded case.

Supplied:
1x D-MB-2 DAB interface
1x Power Loom
1x Fibre loom with joiner for connecting to existing fibre

Compatibility (Model Years not 1st registered date):
Land Rover Discovery 4 2010 to 2015
Land Rover Range Rover 2010 to 2016
Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2010 to 2016
Land Rover Freelander 2 (with Hi Line) 2007 to 2014
Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2012 to 2015

Jaguar XF 2006 to 2014
Jaguar XK 2004 to 2012
Jaguar F-Type 2012 to 2015
Jaguar XJ 2010 to 2015

It is not compatible with the latest NLI system.

The module is plug end play, but you need a power cable to server the module and a splitting MOST cable to ad the module in the MOST network. Instructions is given in the thread form jagforum liked above. You will also need a antenna.

Then one have to activate the DAB, I used IIDTool and the untested CCF settings, ask GAP to activate this on your tool.

The trouble for now is that it does receive and play as it should, but when switching into DAB the head unit seems to freeze. Power of and power on does resolves it, but needs to be done every time when switching from another source.
When power on the car the sound does not come on before the volume control is moved up or down. If the ignition is not on it is not possible to get into the DAB menu, but the sound is present after touching the volume control.

This is for a pre 2012 model, 2012 and onwards is supposed to be easier and function without trouble.

The module is located behind the right C-pillar.

Position in the MOST network is important and try to use this to find where it should be placed.

Hi ewikran,

I have the DAB Receiver and I also have the splitting most cable bought here





Now I need the green antenna amplifier...

but also the https://www.in2digi.com/products/d-jv-2/ is very interesting. It' really P&P (MOST Y and power) and it is supplied with e dedicated (easy to hide) antenna. I had an emails conversation with in2dig and the confirm the full integration with my MY.

https://www.in2digi.com/downloads/D-JV-2/D...n-V0.9.pdf

Nice interface integration: https://www.in2digi.com/downloads/D-JV-2/D...s-V0.9.pdf

And it is DAB+ (my LR DAB receiver it's only DAB).

And, at the end, I'm beta tester for GAP, so I have access to the full CCF editing and my D4 is a MY2011 (not 2012 system).

Do you remember how many voices are needed to change the CCF?



Thank you for the infos, I'll keep you (and the forum) informed.....

This might help

I did a bit of a retro fit article for the down under faith full, I would be happy to send it to you but how do you attach files to this site, send me a pm and I will email it.

Hopefully some of it is of use but you may need to get specific UK market components, though I got mine from UK anyway, there are pictures and a step by step guide.

The integration of the in2digi seems to be the factory menu, looks very similar in mine. Don't think that aftermarket solutions can alter the menus as it is part of the LR headunit.

The antenna I am using is aftermarked and glued to the side window behind the C-pillar cover. Easy to install and works great here.

ewikran,

I have dubs on antenna connections

You installed an aftermarket antenna, but I don't understand how.



Regarding your installation, reading your email, you connected the aftermarket antenna on plug 1? or in the plug2? and the other plug to the green amplifier? Am I understand right?

Like the scheme below where ANTENNA_BL is "1" and ANTENNA_B3 is "2" (or viceversa)?




I try to build a scheme .....

Click image to enlarge


FOr an easy installation, I want to install an aftermarket antenna on the right rear fixed windows area, but I understood that I also need the connection with the green amplifier in the left rear fixed windows area, am I right?

Thumbs Up

No green amplifier in my setup.
The antenna is active and has its own amplifier (black blob with text on the pictures).
Suspect that LR has this system splitted in the antenna and a separate amplifier. You should get away with any active antenna that fits the plug on the module.
