Hi everyone, I've been picking so much information from this site it is amazing the knowledge the posters have!

I will apologise now if I have missed it but I have a 2008 HSE and was looking at fitting an aftermarket DAB unit when I realised mine had the DAB antenna, then realised it has the DAB amp and DAB module.
So my question is how it is activated and do we have any members in the north west area willing to do this? Would LR be willing to do it at a reasonable price?

Did you say Land Rover and reasonable price in the same sentence there ??

How do you know it has the DAB amp and module. My 2009 HSE has the "Premium" radio with DAB button and the aerial but I dont think it has the amp and module (it certainly doest work!) as it seems there was a batch around those years which were "fitted for, but not with" DAB. I would be interested in how you get on. 2009 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Auto - Stornoway Grey - Hers (His, really)

DAB is over-rated. Save your money for a better toy. 🍾 FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Each to his own opinion of course. I have DAB in another vehicle and the station choice alone makes it superior IMHO to FM. 2009 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Auto - Stornoway Grey - Hers (His, really)

Agreed. But to me not more choices just more crap. I prefer to plug in my music and roll along so the Bluetooth is more important.  FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

If what you are saying is correct it more likely the DAB ECU is faulty and the DAB functionality is not working. As its part of the MOST network, if it's Infact faulty, then the whole systems shouldn't work!
First step would be to remove "ring break circuit" pin in the RJB. It's a small piece of metal which looks like it bridges 2 relay pin positions. Remove for about 5 minutes and replace. This should reset the MOST network ECU's including the DAB ECU.
If this doesn't fix it then I would suggest you go to LR and get them to diagnose the problem by connecting up to SDD. This will tell you exactly what the issue is.
But all of this is on the premise that your vehicle does have DAB.

[/quote] I have physically looked behind the trim and seen them. The amp is in the headlining above the aerial and the module is in the left side of the boot behind the plastic, mine is along side the towing electric module.[/quote]

Well, just had a look. I do have fuse FD3 in the fuse holder for "DAB" but on taking off the side panel trim there is no DAB module - just the Parking Assist Module and the Trailer Module.

It can be easily retrofitted.
For your model you can refer to this thread.

That's a very useful / well explained post. As I have all the 'hardware' fitted and the car is listed as having DAB from the build I'm now hoping its just an issue with the car system settings.
So back to my question really, is there any members in the north west of England who are able to edit these, or can somebody recommend an where might do it. Last resort is LR.
Thanks for all the replies too!

If your car has DAB then it's not a CCF edit you require as it should already be "enabled".
There must be a problem which needs to be resolved/diagnosed, as I suggested I would go to a dealer and ask them to diagnose the problem. MY15
