DAB retrofit

I was wondering if anyone knew if DAB can be retrofitted?

Also is anyone interested in having it done if I can work out what needs to happen?

According to dealer in Thatcham (Lancaster) the DAB radio cannot be retrofitted - I would have thought it would be a simple swap out ( and lot of money) but there you go.

according to the PM i received from him, he had just done it,

it need to have the High End ICE system, and apparently the parts cost £400 he then went on to ask how much i would be willing to pay.

He's not responded/read the reply PM I sent him either

To say the upgraded radio only cost £200 on a newly ordered FL2, I think £400 just for parts is taking the Censored

Obviously it looks like this was a semi commercial post looking for business as he is asking if it was possible, only to PM back say he had done it Rolling Eyes

Obviously since he is not a site sponser if anybody does get contacted by him can you let me know, so Martin can discuss sponsership to help fund the site

1) HE Places thread "can you fit DAB?"
2) I respond saying not possible
3) HE PM'd me saying he has done it and it can be done for £400 and he has just done it
3) I PM him, too expensive, tell us how you did it, or contact martin re comercial post if a company
4) He has never comeback since as my PM is still in my outbox

If he contacts anybody, via PM or in the Thread its against commercial posting rules

If he was just Joe public who had done it, he would not have been asking me how much i was willing to pay for it regardless of unit cost Rolling Eyes and would have just told people it is possible and let us all do it ourselves
