DAB radio

Does anyone know if the later MY13 V40s are pre-wired to allow the DAB receiver to be fitted behind the nearside boot panel? I have DAB present in the menu system but greyed out.

Sorry for being short of the facts but when I was looking at the MY13/14 stuff it did say that DAB could be retrofitted but standard on all 14's

I have never seen the DAB option greyed out

Its either there if it has it or not there if it hasn't got DAB?

The car had to be ordered from the factory with DAB preparation for an extra £75 , this would allow later fitting of the DAB system ... otherwise it cant be done ... It seems a lot of people didnt order this , why would they , DAB was a minority interest THEN ! but now a few years later it's going to be a must ... volvo do a neat DAB Accessorie though for £300 fitted which i like .

You should not have DAB greyed out , it is either there and working or its not shown on the menu if you don't have it . ... have you asked the dealer to see if it is on the build sheet as fitted ? You may have a problem with it .

Thanks Clan. DAB is not in the menu now although I'm certain it was the day I got the car but maybe I imagined it. As a matter if interest do you know why it cannot be fitted at a later date? I would have thought all that would be required would be the DAB module, cables and a software upgrade. Perhaps the aerial is the problem.

Yes it cant be fitted at a later date unless you have the £75 Factory DAB preparation at time of order , it would be the side glass due to the aerials, and looms would be slightly different
