C70 S70 V70: - Car radio

I have a V70 2005/6 (185) which I use to tow my caravan.

As travelling around I have to change radio stations: Has anyone successfully managed to turn the existing radio into a DAB one with a conversion kit? Or replaced it with a DAB radio that fits easily into the slot?

I wouldn't use word "easily" here, but I did replace factory head unit with an Atoto A6 android unit. Doesn't have DAB by default, but is modular, can be expanded.

My kit included
Atoto A6 (around£250, import from USA, however there is EUR version available, USA version has hand gesture sensor,whole difference)
Dashcam Atoto £40(connects to head unit, will not work on its own
Dab+ receiver around £30
Radio came with WiFi and GPS aerials in box, also with external microphone for hands free.

Few months later.. I could have bought better, branded, DAB dongle. Otherwise all works spot on.
