Hi guys
Bought a new headunit complete with a T6 fitting kit
I’ve got everything working except the DAB radio - it was supplied with a “factory fitted DAB retention kit”, but basically I’m trying to fit a round peg in a square hole as per the picture below
The lead provided come with the...
Weird, I've been using DAB for years, live in the arse end of nowhere but travel all around the country with work and 90% of the time i dont have any DAB issues in the T6 or my Golf....I listen to a combination of BBC stations or Radio X.
A couple of years ago I had a kenwood head unit fitted to my 2016 T6 with a reversing camera.Some of the dab stations have never been brilliant for example Talksport would come in and out but I sort of put up with it.Fast forward 2 yrs and my reversing camera packed in so I took it back to the...
Dab signal is still useless in the uk unless you are near a big city. You can get active aerials that help a little. Still cant believe they rolled out dab with it being so flawed, still!!
TBH, I've ended up here because I've just bought a 2015 T6.
It's just had a new aerial fitted, Sat Nav works fine now (it didn't) but there are no DAB stations and the Park Pilot is a bit erratic, telling me there are things there when they're not!
I know there have been a few discussions on...
Not sure which side they’re on, but the T6 mirrors have DAB aerials in, and they’re also heated.
I thought the T6.1’s DAB aerial was in the pod on the roof?
Hi there, did you ever get an answer to your question? I have previsouly bought a Road Angel DAB stereo and plan to fit it in my T6. Did you need to buy a fascia kit or similar to integrate the head unit into the plastic stereo/vent cover so that there were no large gaps? Kind regards, Scott
I’m going to be installing a shark fin on the roof for better DAB reception for my Kenwood 8020dabs headunit.
Is it worth getting a combined DAB and GPS aerial?
I use Waze via wireless sapless play. Will a GPS aerial improve the sat nav of will it remain dependent on the iPhone GPS?
...one corner, when iPhone is connected Apple play goes on and off on its own and when radio is on, in the bottom left corner the option for DaB, Fm comes on. Does any know of a simple fix or any suggestions for a replacement unit where I can still use Apple car play , Dab, reversing camera and...
Probably removed/disturbed the 12v power supply to the aerial.
I also have a T6.1 and the DAB reception seems rubbish, so want to fit a separate shark fin aerial. Do you have a link to what you used and the connections it has? Also, is it a combined fin that also does GPS and FM?
Bit the bullet and bought a dab radio capable head unit from Absolut5, with a dab sharks fin and reversing camera and fitted it all in works time, pay back finally!
Thank you @Absolut5 for all the help
It's been back in today for the fitter to look at it and they don't really know what the issue is.
They think the SOS is interfering with DAB reception and / or possible some interference from the loom adapter.
They're going to speak to the loom manufacturer and Alpine and get back to me...
