Has anyone looked into a £140 CKO aftermarket DAB unit?...

Seems to suggest it could be integrated into the oem head unit, although it also offers a separate screen and controller, so I'm non the wiser, and frankly always a little wary of half baked aftermarket products...


Or for silly money (£420), there's this...

As others have said there is 3 versions of the RCD-510

RCD-510
RCD-510 with rear view camera input
RCD-510 with DAB.

The DAB versions easy to spot it has a DAB button on the front panel.  :grin:

And a dab aerial connection on the back too, for anyone considering upgrading for DAB you might need some sort of aerial wire.
Yes. I did not mension this as the original thread poster has a RCD-310DAB unit so i expect would have the extra rear window conections and interface box from the factory so should be a simple plug and play upgrade for them just not everyone else.
