Fitting Dab Radio and aerial

[LeeME3]

Hi
Does your existing radio have a aux in facility. Mine had, so I just bought a standard 3.5mm aux cable and downloaded the radioplayer app to my iPhone and now I have a dab radio for the cost of cable.

And potentially excess data charges, fully accepting it depends on your contract.

However, and to link back to an earlier question, I think (based on gut rather than science!) that DAB coverage is rather better than 3G/4G so even if data usage isn't a problem you may get more reliable signal via DAB. FWIW I have DAB in my van and main car and both have constant signal on the station I want pretty much everywhere and retune seamlessly as i move around (certainly better than when I had DAB a few years ago).

Caveat: I am on Vodafone, some mobile phone companies may actually provide coverage other than in central London!!!!

I have a portable DAB which I can route to input on head unit, or, as its more often used, on batteries in the back

Hi LeeME3

I appreciate your concerns over data costs and signal reception. Perhaps I should have said that my van is only used occasionally and would not warrant a DAB radio, or that the radio stations available on the radio player app outweigh what's currently available on DAB in my area.

DAB? Radio streaming?
No coverage up here for DAB and 3G is rare/patchy.
Good old analogue FM all the way for us.
