Does my Ford Mondeo have DAB+?
I have owned a 2016 Ford Mondeo Titanium Mk5 from new and the vehicle has been highly satisfacory and trouble free. However I am concerned that the advent of DAB+ will render many stations unobtainable. I am having difficulty in establishing whether or not the radio is DAB+ and if not, can it be changed, modified or fitted with an adaptor?

Whether your car can received DAB or DAB+ depends on when it was manufactured, so it may already have this facility. One way you can check this is to go to the Digital Radio UK website here: getdigitalradio.com/post-code-checker/ and see which DAB+ stations are transmitting in your area and see if you can receive them in your car. Your SYNC system may require an update, so we would also suggest resetting and rescanning the available stations on your audio system.
It is unlikely that your system can be made compatible with DAB+ if it is not already, although you may wish to consult a car audio specialist. Alternatively you could stream DAB+ stations through your smartphone, or replace the audio system with a more modern aftermarket system.
