Hi,
Not been on for a while, I’ve recently came back to FL2 ownership - got a lovely Fuji white LE sport auto 11 plate, love the looks (and the SD4 compared to my last FL2! )
Spec has most of what I need,
Sadly no DAB (I may try the upgrade yet!) but reason for this topic is:
I only have the single cd alpine unit, and midline Alpine amp/speaker setup.
I’ve seen plenty 2nd user 6cd units on flea bay,
Is it just a case of opening up the dash and changing over the units?
Do I need a code?
I’ve got factory fit Bluetooth if that makes a difference (not sure where the module is located)
Tried a topic search but couldn’t see anything that answered my question.

Am I better off just trying to fit an Xtrons unit in place of my nav and using usb?

Thanks in advance

do a search, there has been a recent thread on this topic

.

Thanks mate, I’ll have another look, I must have missed it

Is the last post on this the answer you are looking for?

This was the search I used

Hi,
Thanks but not what I was after, I’ve done another search but can’t seem to find anything matching.
Basically I’ve already got an Alpine cd head unit, but was after a 6cd version so I can load it up to the max with mp3s.
Appreciate the help anyway.

Are you sure you don't have Dab , my 2012 Sport Le has the Alpine system and it is standard fit I'm pretty sure .

Mark 2009 FL2 TD4 SE (Sadly gone)
2007 FL2 TD4 GS (The wifes , gone after 8 great years)
2012 FL2 SD4 SPORT LE(Gone and missing it)

Hi
I’d love it if I did, I don’t get the DAB logo on boot and pressing the “FM” button on the head unit just selects between FM 1/2
I’ve got the aerial in the rear side panels for DAB but doesn’t look like I got the rest lol 😂

OK ..... I have the radio as shown in the photo below. (in my 09 Reg)



The selection button on the top left marked 'FM Digital'. If I press it once I get FM 1, a second press FM2, then cycles through 1 /2 repeatedly.
'Digital' or DAB never appears, I have tried in many location within the UK and city/town/rural ............NO .... DAB.

I'm thinking Digital does not equal DAB .... but Digital FM ????

Can anyone clarify.

check out this thread

thread based on '2010 Sport LE Stereo'

Its a long read ........... but it details the history of DAB in early and later Freelander 2 vehicles.

I’ll go do that, thanks for all the help guys.

I think that the "digital" here is a reference to using a digital phase locked loop in the FM tuner ie its a bit of misleading marketing. My current 14 reg has DAB but I rarely use it as the signal where I live is patchy. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto
Now Discovery Sport P250 MHEV SE

Yeah I agree, unfortunately for us it’s not an indication that it has dab

and do the still transmit a 19kHz suppressed pilot tone for FM stereo for the difference signal? 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto
