Don't forget you'll need a DAB aerial - they're different to standard FM ones.

I have a glass mount one including the cable, etc which you can have for £50 incl p&p - its brand new - I bought it then found out my new car had a DAB aerial already...!

Cool,thanks.Just got to convince him he doesn't need it now

I'm hoping there's a voltage dropper fitted to the radio.Apparently,it was a £750 factory extra.

should you require a voltage dropper, there are 15 on ebay at the moment with various wattages.

It should be a 12volt radio.

The one we took out of our military variant FL.., something or other.. was 12v

So in theory should plumb straight in to the Car
