Hi,

 

I bought the Octavia combi 1.4 TSI 2017 with Amundsen. DAB was available. I did a reset of the unit to get rid of all the phone connection etc. Reset was successful but the DAB menu was gone. Only FM selectable. I've updated to 0480 FW but that didn't help. Anyone idea how to get DAB back?

Have you access to any diagnostic tools?

VCDS or similar?

 

Wondering if coding has gone wrong, or the radio has lost a fec/swap code that perhaps enables DAB.

I will check. If have ODBeleven app with dongle. 

Please excuse the obvious question.

Did you press the screen where it says it's on FM as that's how you cycle through to DAB. I certainly found it hard to find it when I was new to the car but once I realised where to select it was fine.

Again I apologise if you know this already and it's genuinely missing.

normal there is a button FM on the left at the bottom. And there I could select DAB. This menu is complete gone, so no FM is showing because its the only thing that is active. I think I will need to check the FEC/SWAP codes if its enabled. I will do this tomorrow.

Just thinking on this.

Have you tried looking at the Aerial connector plug in the roof.

Some Yeti's suffered from this fault in the aerial lead itself and suffered loss of DAB.  

Your Octavia maybe different to the Yeti, but still check connections from wherever your aerial is located.

Will do so 👍🏼

Did you fix this problem? 

Yes.. turned out I have the unit without DAB after all. So only way is to swap it. But I use CarPlay so I use digital radio high res now. That sounds perfect.
