I really fancy having DAB radio in car.. But how?

Featured Replies

I've got a Pure radio in the office... Love the reception and range of stations.

So, go to thinking, is there anything after market I can add to my Bolero head unit? Or do I need a different head unit?

What have you guys done? Any ideas please?

Cheers

Mike

Cheers for all the help fellas,

Got my eye on the Pure highway, looks smart and I like how it can do other things too!

Hold new world, lots to research now!

Until I read about Dabonwheels above! Mmmmmm.. That looks even neater!

I got one of these from ebay, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Volkswagen-VW-RCD-310-DAB-Radio-RCD310-BRAND-NEW-LED-2013-14-Model-/111531551021?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item19f7cc692d.

 

Absolutely top quality and sounds loads better than the stream it replaced.

 

You will need a new aerial (dabonwheels) and possibly the columbus housing/trim, altogether it cost me £160 for the lot.

Replaced my bolero for a VW RCD510DAB which seems exactly like a Bolero but with DAB. About £200 but sell the Bolero to offset that. Also requires an aerial (mine is just a windscreen one) and a new facia surround which aren't too expensive.

That's interesting, thanks for that mate!

So does it plug straight in? Is the facia same as a columbus one then?

Also, does it light up same colour on buttons? And will my reverse sensors still appear on it visually?

Cheers... Sorry for so many questions.. Had a look in eBay and they look smart!

Straight in with one multi way plug. Buttons light red but looks fine. Parking sensors work just like the Bolero. Facia is the coumbus one. First time it powers up you add the pin code it comes with.

Brilliant, thankyou for your help with this. Will give it some thought.

My buttons light red also but i think it makes it look better, sound quality is way better than standard stereo.
