Default V40 2012 SE Lux Dab Radio?

Hi All

New to this as i have just got myself a V40 2012 model (D2, SE Lux) Sorry if this has been asked before.

Before i brought this car i read a number of reviews. Almost all of them, stated that DAB radio is standard on the V40 from 2012 onward.

But when i press Radio, all i can see is AM, FM1 and FM2. Are all theses reviews wrong and DAB is not actually standard on the V40, or am i missing something?

According to the 2012 prices and specifications brochure DAB radio was an option at the time.

I believe that DAB was a pay for option on the earlier versions.

DAB Radio was indeed an option on 2012 MY. It is extremely difficult to retro fit unless the "DAB Prep" option was specified which is a different wiring and fibre optic loom. The DAB tuner modules are cheap on e-bay but the software and wiring issues would befuddle NASA. I've spent a long time looking into it...
