DAB retrofit options

Finn2k1 · 10-03-2021, 05:07 AM

So I successfully retrofited an nbt Evo ID6 unit on my car and the HU came with dab ports on the back which is good, but the car has no dab aerials. What are my options on connecting a DAB antenna? Is the green fakra cable (usb 3) that was going to the TCB somehow useful ?

Year and model of your car?

The E87 has built-in DAB antenna in the rear window, at least from 2008, I believe, even if you don't have factory fitted DAB. What you don't have then is the DAB amplifier (9110971).
