DAB Digital Radio
DAB is digital radio that offers clearer sound and more stations than FM.
What is DAB Digital Radio?
DAB+ is the improved version. Coverage varies by country. A suitable antenna is needed. DAB+ uses a more efficient audio codec than the original DAB and is the standard in most European countries. Many cars switch automatically between DAB and FM when signal is weak. Some countries have announced plans to reduce FM broadcasting in favour of digital radio.
How it works
Audio is transmitted digitally.
Why it matters for your car
Reception can drop in tunnels. Check the antenna after windscreen work.
