I don't think they've really cracked the DAB thing in mobile circumstances yet J, thats why there are so few manufacturers and aftermarket systems available....the reception quality is very hit & miss apparently.

The DAB on my Audi A8 is outstanding.

It may well be if you live in and around the cities, and the coverage is getting better TBH, but over 9 million people still can't recieve a DAB signal in the UK . There are also coverage problems throughout Europe e.g. the Fins have switched their system off and the four main French radio staions refuse to broadcast in it.

As broadcasters including the BBC have started to reduce the broadcast bitrate the claimed quality of signal versus FM is becoming negligable. The disadvantages on the set that I have I find are that you either receive or you don't.

The current system as I see it will soon be overtaken by Satellite DAB, which will result in a massive improvement in quality, or DVB-T \ -H which makes use of spare DVB audio bandwidth.

Hopefully, the current equipment will be compatible.....but I wouldn't hold your breath
