Look above your post and you will see Search. All asked before and I think the quick answer is forget it.

Try search use "DAB" as the key word. happy reading. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Cheers m8, I've emailed "Just Drive" for more info. I had the Pure Go in my last freelander & it was ok cost £149 fitted from Halfords, but you had a control unit stuck in the middle of your dash. & there was no info display. Sound quality was ok tho. Thanx for your help.

the LR DAB upgrade is a potentially expensive, time consuming project (but not impossible).
I think the DAB module is located behind the side panels in the boot(open to correction) so its panels off, facia off, cabling up, CCF editing (I think)

and is all that really worth all the extra expense ?

I bought a Bluetooth adaptor for the aux socket for my 2010MY HSE, that cost £5 off ebay. Perfect for streaming music off my phone, so you could get a DAB app for your phone and play through that

Cheers Rog, I do have Bluetooth on my radio, so this could be another option, but as I only have 500 mb per month on my contract, would this be a problem?. Just written my freelander GS off by the way £6000 damage, Sad but replaced it with the HSE 2009 mustv just missed the DAB version. I did look at a 2010 but it was tatty.

the built in Bluetooth is only for hands free calls in pre MY2013, you cant stream over it. I found the £5 option really good, just had to switch it on every time I got in the car to play music etc.

you could download music onto your phone via your home internet connection, then play it in the car streaming to the aux plug in, so no extra data usage when out and about.
but if you want digital radio you would be best upping your data package on your phone.

Rite, cheers Rog. I have around 2000 tracks on my phone & do use it through my radio, & it's got a 6 cd auto changer, BUT as I said I love my planet rock, and I really don't want to upgrade my phone package, rather pay a one off. I'll await the reply from JustDRIVE & as I said there's always the PureGo option. Thanx for your help. Thumbs Up
