Hi all,
I have searched the Octarvia Forum for DAB+ Radio ... with no luck.
Are we all sure that our Columbus Entertainment Units do NOT support DAB+ Radio ?
I only seem to have FM or AM as a selection.. the Manual says otherwise...?

I don't believe the OZ Columbus has DAB+, i think it is hardware, not just a hack otherwise it would be on the Briskoda VCDS page, everything else is.

There is no DAB+ radio receiver or decoder installed in AUDM Columbus units.

Phhhheeewwww ! Glad I wasn't going Insane.. DAB+ is ONLY an Australian iteration of the European DAB, so, yes its Definitely a Hardware thingy......

It is odd that we don't get it really. I've driven cheapo hire cars from Mitsubishi and others that have it standard. It does drop out a hell of a lot here though.

Had a customer with an A-Class come in complaining that theirs was next to useless, too!
I'll try suss it out a little better when we get a demo with DAB+ (Top spec Fabia, mostly)

AFAIK, to enable DAB+ on the Columbus system requires a module and another antenna. Few places like VW Central can do it for you for around $300ish.
