    Hi folks,

    I am having issues on my R56 its 100% got DAB but it won't let me select it,

    I want DAB because I live in the Scottish Borders and the radio is terrible here so I need some extra channels to choose from,

    The dab is in the boot drivers side behind the panel,

    Any help would be great and I am at loose end with it without going to mini and getting them to look at it an charging me £200 for my problem!

    Thanks
    Billy

    I'm guessing DAB is the same as HD radio in the us....(digital audio broadcast?)
    If it is...the range is pretty short... For the digital stations to work, you need to be pretty close to the city...if the stations carrying it are weak...no luck....

    I live in a digital area, my other car gets dab no problem ,

    I got a parrot mki9200 fitted into the car before I picked it up, I can only think there is still a cable to plugged in,

    My problem is I am petrified to take out the dash and have a look.

    You might be better off posting to MINI2 as they are mainly a european forum.

    MINI2 is a good forum too, but don't run off. MA is the friendly helpful sight even if we don't know what the answer is.
