FM - DAB

My 2011 Commercial has as standard an FM radio and Sat Nav.

I have been offered a DAB Receiver Tuner Box.

Is this plug & play?

Suspect the aerial will need upgrading, any clue to a part number would be appreciated.

Thanks

Dave

Is it aftermarket or OEM, and bare in mind lots of stations are now moving to DAB+ and DAB is obsolete.

A choice of 2, one LR CPLA-14F720-BN, and the other a Ford one which I have been told will fit, A12278493.

I realise DAB+ is with us, but really only want to have Planet Rock at the moment, and DAB+ is very expensive to fit apparently.

Just a thought, if I upgraded my 2010 RRS to DAB+, would the DAB stuff from that work in the Disco?

It should do as they are the same system. The CPLA may not as that’s for the 2012 Gen 2.1 system. But having not tried it I wouldnt be 100% sure.

Thanks for the input, common sense would say fit the stuff from the RRS as I know it all works.

Update and tip for those wanting DAB+ at minimal cost and fitting grief.

I eventually bought a Kinetic Digitizor from dabonwheels, mainly 'cause you can have the DAB info on the standard screen.

3 options for insallation, 1 requiring access to the rear of the vehicle radio, and 2 without. I chose one of the latter.

Fitted it behind the lower glovebox, piggybacked the radio fuse for power, used a bolt further up by the top of the fuse board for the earth, and all working, even with a window mounted aerial that isn't really for heated screens.

Will fit a roof mounted one if reception proves an issue on the move, but considering the aerial worked still folded up on the passenger seat, I might not have to.

Intend to upgrade my RRS DAB to DAB+ the same way.

At £79.99 including the aerial, it's a no brainer as far as I'm concerned.

Ended up fitting a Connects2 CT27UV83 sharkfin powered antenna, excellent piece of kit.
