Hi,

 

I will order the following:

 

https://www.erisin.co.uk/products/erisin-es8526s-android-13-dab-car-stereo-gps-radio-for-octavia-yeti-rapid-roomster-superb-8-ips-bt-50-carplay-android-auto-wifi-dvr-8-core-4gb64gb

 

I drive a 2010 L&K Octavia. Does anyone know if I will start receiving DAB radios automatically once the device is plugged-in or does it require an additional "antenna" to receive them so I order it too? TIA!

The spec of the unit says there is no DAB capability, only AM and FM:

  Radio
- Main Chips: TDA7708
- AM Frequency Range: 522-1620KHz
- AM Increment: 9KHz(EU)/10KHz(US)
- FM Tuning Range: 87.5-108MHz
- FM Increment: 0.05MHz(EU)/0.1MHz(US)
- FM Area: Europe/USA1/USA2/Japan/Russia
- RDS: On/Off
- Preset Stations: 30(FM 3*6, AM 2*6)

 

It also has a capabilty for an external DAB tuner:

 

 DAB(+)-IN
- Built-in DAB Player App: Yes, just connect a DAB-Receiver to use this function
- Connection Port: USB
- Power Supply to DAB-Receiver directly: Yes
- Touch Control DAB-Receiver on unit: Yes
- DAB-Receiver incl.: No, you can contact us to buy it together

 

So you need to buy the optional external DAB receiver. An aerial will be required and some will work mounted inside the dash when driving in towns.

 

Thanks a lot @pikpilot for your message 🙏
