Car doesn't have Long Wave Radio - any way to get it?

Followers

Hi Guys,

My Dad's a bit gutted because his new car, a C-Max, doesn't appear to be able to get Long Wave Radio, and he really enjoys listening to the Cricket on R4LW.

Is there any kind of adaptor or gadget we can get that will let him listen to LW in the car?

Cheers!

Could you get a DAB radio for it ?

You can listen to cricket on bbc 5 live sports extra on digital radio, there's the added bonus of actually being able to hear what they are saying.

Bah. DAB doesn't have the same charm to it. Not being able to hear what's being said is the whole point, damnit!

Something like this (Other available)? -

Picks up the DAB signal and rebroadcasts on FM so you can pick it up with your car's FM radio.

Anyone with more than one car ?

Well strange predicament due to dads age and alzheimers diagnosis he shifted his car to me. Pretty damn nice car 1.8T DSG 2014 less than 20k, packed with as much as mine has and more besides like adaptive cruise, folding mirrors. Not sure I need 2 though longer term tho....useful for now though as my petrol vRS similar vintage really could do with a clutch <80k miles so I am grateful for it regardless ! Not exactly the slow option either, obviously not quite as good as a 2.0T but better eco

Brbnhim · 3 December, 20253 Dec

The Elroq was only released in October in AU and we bought the first one from the dealer after driving a pre release vehicle back in July Wife's new Elroq 130 2 weeks old has an "interesting problem" Love the car but the Au importers appear to have stripped out some feature to maybe save a few $$(Of course not, would they?) We have a 13kw solar array currently and 20kw battery bank about to be installed however currently using the supplied 2.4kw wall charger 240VAC @10A The problem: We have be

Superb sportline

Murrayman · Tuesday at 05:322 days

Hi everyone, I’ve got a 2021 Superb S EL. Fantastic car, very comfortable. I’m thinking of ordering a new Superb Sportline. Has anyone driven both these trims and can tell me how to compare for comfort ? I recently tried an Octavia Sportline and it was too firm for me. Every bump was felt in contrast to my Superb. I’m hoping the Superb Sportline will be ok with the DCC in comfort mode but it does have large wheels. I realise I should really get another S EL but the Sportline looks nicer in
