dab

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...

Is anyone else suffering poor DAB reception at the moment? I've been all over the country this week and reception is poor and the auto switching to FM barely kicks in. I had a Shark fin aerial fitted when I first got the van and it's been fine, this has come on purely in the last 7 days or so.

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...

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...

Hi all, has anyone had cause to remove the roof lining from a skyline aurora pop top roof. I'm wondering if I could fit a metal plate into the roof of the pop top and fit a sharkfin aerial to the pop top. Would this work and any ideas how easy the roof lining is to remove?

Sorry if this has been discussed already. My dab has started playing up recently and thinking of fitting a sharkfin. Has anyone fitted one to the roof above the front seats but under or inside of the pop top roof. There's a nice flat area that's out of the weather, but wasn't sure if the...

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?

Hi Has anyone else had issues with DAB after fitting an amp or OEM reversing camera? I had signature audio package from absolut5 fitted and a reversing camera plugged in (OEM). No other changes. Priory to this DAB was fairly reliable. Afterwards it’s terrible. Have since been back and they have...

Hi, drivers door mirror broken off, and need to buy another, see loads on ebay, but they don't come with any antennas fitted, how do I know if my van has any or is it easy to swop over?

Had my recall a couple of days ago and noticed the DAB reception has noticeably worsened. Is this my imagination or is there something that's been affected by having the door trim off and whatever's done to correct the door lock problem? TIA

I’m intrigued to see if anyone else has had the same issue and if you came up with a solution to fix it? So when I plug anything into the 12v socket the I loose all radio stations as soon as I take it out the socket they come back again Any help would be much appreciated!!

So I’ve been a bit miffed with the DAB quality in the van checked all connections with the mirror antenna in the mirror it’s self and the door. All seems well however I’m not running the standard head unit I have a Kenwood and they claim that the driver side door mirror is no good even though I...

Hello. The DAB radio on my T6 isn’t picking up stations at all. It’s not the transmitter as other radios work. I yanked the head unit and the aerial is still connected. Today I was giving the cab a good clean and discovered this (please see image). Maybe the previous owner had a new driver’s...

Hi, Just fitted a replacement Passenger Side Wing Mirror, but the new Wing mirror wiring was different to the damaged Wing mirror. The photos below show a plug which connected into a female plug behind the door card. Does anyone know what this plug is for? Photo 163542 shows the where the...

Smashed both side mirrors, cheaper replacements aerial free of course. I have a DAB aerial to mount on the screen and am looking to fit a 400mm rubber FM antenna somewhere. (I looked at sharkfins but they are incredibly expensive, £80 at least). I already have the adaptor cable. I...

Hi everyone. I have recently picked up a 67 plate Shuttle SE and I'm surprise to find that even though it has a fairly up to date entertainment system with Apple CarPlay, it doesn't have DAB radio. It looks like this may have been an option. Are there any experts around here. Is it possible...

Hi All, I've lost all of my DAB radio stations on my standard head unit on my T6. When i rescan it doesnt find any stations. Any ideas why? I had a solar panel fitted over a year ago and Im pretty sure the DAB radio was still working after the fit, although Im not 100% as the van has been parked...

Morning all, I'm trying my best to not post any new questions to ones that have already been answered but I have read through a lot of posts on the OEM DAB aerial and can't find anything to my specific question. The DAB is very poor in my T6. It's a standard set-up with head unit shown in...

Looking into replacing Dab aerial fitted in our mirror onto roof or upgrading original. Would love to upgrade headunit but cant stretch that far at the moment. May not be linked but once mirrors are inverted water drains out of them. When van was new had issues with handsfree and Vw replaced...

Hi there, I had an after market wing mirror fitted last Sept following a mirror high 5 with a wide caravan - power folding, heated glass, DAB antenna as the original. I'm SURE the DAB worked when I collected it from the garage, but since then the DAB reception first went weird (filtering...
