Managed to get the din converter for the aerial cable in the car and that's fitted now.
Leading evidence: 'Install now' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'better option' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Install now' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

I used a stick on window aerial in the Ford, it was cheap, easy to fit and it's reasonably unobtrusive.

It does give far more channels, critically for me BBC 5 sports extra for test match special!

Suggestion
DAB also uses different frequencies from FM so you need a different aerial, a splitter probably won't work too well.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I've been fitting my Pioneer DA130DAB double din unit and I'm close to finishing it. Whether it powers up and plays music is another matter.
However, I'm a bit stuck on the DAB splitter. I don't want a window mounted aerial but can't seem to find anything that will connect to the aerial connection from the back of the old Becker unit. It's got a part number 996.612.072.00.
Anyone who's done the upgrade come across anything? I've tried connects2 and searched the web but in all honesty I don't know what the connection type is so I'm not getting anywhere.
Any help welcome. :frustrated:
I'm pretty sure you're gonna have to use a screen mounted dab aerial mate.
Most am/fm aerials are optimised for just that. And don't get the dab frequencies very well. Also if the vehicle has a built in aerial amplifier (I'm guessing ours do) - they filter out everything above 108MHz. Which includes the DAB frequencies!
Hope that helps a little. I didn't have to worry on mine as I got the previous model sph-da120. Have since seen the new one and am thinking about it.
Bought the pioneer windshield mount aerial. Looks great and will fit tomorrow. Managed to get the din converter for the aerial cable in the car and that's fitted now.
Butchered (sorry, "fettled") the cigarette lighter socket and now have a usb3 connector for the apple carplay connection to the radio.
Will post pics in next couple of days but I'm sure you've all seen similar.
Hi,
I'm in the process of changing out my radio, an aftermarket single din unit. I've stripped out all the old wires and moved the climate control down the bottom as I would like to fit a double din unit.
My question is, what do you do with the plastic single din divider, do you just cut it out. I don't really like cutting up the dash, is there an alternative solution??
Have you got the DAB working well, I've never had one of these and am not sure it's worth the effort?
Cheers
Donald
I've fitted DAB into my Mondeo but not done the 996 yet because mine has the MOST fibre system, I plan to upgrade in the autumn.
DAB is digital so you either get a signal or you don't, it does drop out from time to time in a car and you need a decent aerial. DAB also uses different frequencies from FM so you need a different aerial, a splitter probably won't work too well. I used a stick on window aerial in the Ford, it was cheap, easy to fit and it's reasonably unobtrusive.
DAB does tend to give better sound in the car but the difference is small when the FM signal is good. It does give far more channels, critically for me BBC 5 sports extra for test match special!
