Jaguar XK8 2006 - DAB radio - davidb52

I have just bought a convertible version of the above, and love the car, but it has no DAB radio, unlike my previous A8 audi, where it came as standard. What is best way iof getting DAB on the car, without wires and other intrusive rubbish?

There are several ways to do this. What do you mean when you say 'without wires'? Do you mean you don't want to remove the existing radio and replace it, thus messing with wires, or do you mean you don't want something that plugs in, and looks messy...?

I installed a DAB in a Ford Focus I had; my husband bought me a very nice one and the blanking plate to go with it, and it was an hour's work to remove the existing radio, install the DAB one and test it out. Little bit of electronics know-how needed (I mean utterly minimal common sense and safety knowledge).

I have a Philips DAB head unit, plus an Autoleads powered DAB/FM splitter box that works very well with it.

On the Focus it gave me perfect reception 99% of the time.
