How to DISABLE the DAB radio

[J_R]

I see plenty of issues regarding poor DAB because of rear windscreen isues on KAROQ 2023 model.

 

However, I find the quality of DAB awful and the radio has the bad habit of changing from FM to DAB on its own, even if the "select fm" is ticked in the advance section.......It keeps going back.

Even if I store the FM station in memory, next time I power up the memory has changed to the DAB station.

 

I use VCDS a lot and .am used to adjusting the car's settings, but can not find anything for this.

 

probably easiest way is to disconnect the DAB aerial and use a resistor to provide the correct impedence but act as a short circuit for signal reception. 

 

However, whaving not yet dismantled the back of this new car (!!) I am not sure which aerial it is on the rear window....anyone know for certaion?

 

The best solution would be to remove the DAB aerial input to the radip receiver and short that input, but again, even with the full workshop manual here, I can not find the connector or pin numbers......any answers please

Hi

Thanks for this  - Not seen these options in an adaptation menu or similar before but have now found the following in the "blocklist" so will "fiddle" when car back!

 

Car in for minor warranty repairs so will be a few days before checking.

 

Wil lalso try the AM setting as would really like longwave radio when in Europe!

 

I use VCDS for all work - what is the platform you are using there please?

I am using OBD11, a light version of VCDS. Btw i have Amundsen.

Check the Long Coding, there you might find this adaptations. In MIB2 Amundsen it was there.
