I own a '56 1.8TDCI hatch. Does anyone have any information on an after market DAB radio which will directly replace the original equipment and coninue to use the column remote?

You also need to be sure that it will work where you live - where we live, DAB coverage is adequate for use in a fixed position, but an absolute disaster on the move. Our local incar radio dealers have stopped supplying them - just about every unit they sold was returned.

Whole things a mess - one of the big players a Jazz channel is pulling out of the DAB market according to Today on R4 the other day.

Thanks for that lads, its something I hadn't thought of. Although I listen to 5 live in the evenings and the reception on AM is diabolical at best. Cant seem to see an aereal anywhere.

Whilst DAB reception is very good at home, it is very hit and miss whilst on the move. I listen to TalkSport a lot and would love a DAB system in my works van, but at the moment there's not much point as it drops out whilst moving........
