T6 dab lead connector

[VWcamper2023]

Would any of you know what kind of patch cable I need to connect dab radio van side to my road angel dab radio connection? I have ordered a couple from amazon telling me they are what I need but don't fit van side of dab connector.

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

Below is the parts I bought and to say was really a breeze to fit, the quality of the B grade Road Angel
head unit was fantastic and was £100 cheaper than new. The fitting kit from Dynamicsounds did not have
any fitting instructions but with a little thought and time I worked it out. All done on the kitchen table
prior to fitting into van. dab radio and microphone leads are self explanatory the only other thing I had to
buy was a piggy back fuse (halfords) to get permanent live from fuse box.

The other mod I did was rewire the USB that was in the van as was not willing to pay £40 for adapter off

Hi there. So i finally found the time to remove the OEM radio and have a look but I was completely perplexed as to the array of connectors. Did you happen to take any pictures of what goes where? Kind regards.

Hi, Sorry I did not take pictures but can do if you need them. My van is in getting the back doors painted but can take some when I get it back. What bits are you unsure about?
Did you buy all the bits I listed on the thread?

Hi Mick

I did not use the supplied dab antenna from Road Angel. I bought an adapter off of Amazon to fit the VW dab antenna already there.

Hope this helps ... All items bought are listed in a earlier post.
