Upgrade to DAB Radio

[raysearles]

So this morning the standard FM got an DAB upgrade courtesy of the mobile service from CarCommunications.

The engineer took just 50 minutes to fit the unit, cable through the aerial from the back window, and then "Pair" and tune the controller to the X351 radio system.

The DAB Radio is accessed through a preset (no 6 in my case) FM channel, the controller is wireless to the radio unit and so there is no messing about, you just had to connect to a live ignition feed, which looked fairly easy.

Overall cost £230 fully installed which included an extra £50 for the optional external glass mounted aerial for better reception. I will now be able to get 5 Live Extra again, and get crystal clear Radio 2, just like I had on the XF.

Mounted the controller just below the stop start button, it has 16 presets so more than enough for my needs and as I intend to keep the car for a few years a worthwhile investment.

Here are a few pics of the key items, this unit connects to any of the modern Jaguars with from S Type onwards so would be worth considering if you felt that having DAB was a good thing as I do.
