Yeah this would be awesome, but DVB-T would be nice too.Originally Posted by FSI 220

I will investigate this option, but does anyone have feedback on DAB station quality and coverage? I have not used DAB+ myself, but the reception coverage and quality would vary from location to location. Quality might also vary in terms of bitrate choice made by each station - do they generally sound good here in Aus?

Coverage is only in capital cities. But its only going to grow.

Quality is fine here 45km SE of Melbourne

Yeah, just wondering if it's worthwile to keep the normal radio tuner for now if DAB+ is implemented. By the sound of things though it looks to be safe to just switch over to DAB+. I will speak with my tech later, should stop slacking off at work now...

DAB+ would solve the lack of AM as well

I will have more info on DAB+ soon, my tech is tending to other visiting clients right now.
He has however confirmed with me that the unit is fully compatible with Dynaudio, and he has had many clients with Dynaudio successfully install the ANS.

Correct, the only missing function is display of dual zone AC controls on screen, I believe this is because the mk5 CANBUS platform simply doesn't store this information. You do not need to update it. I have the unit in my own mk5 Golf.
The ANS series is still not very well known in Australia so it might be hard to find. The older AS-7608 / 7609 was quite popular around here, but those units had the cheaper tacky software with various interface flaws / glitches, and missing functions compared with the ANS. Also despite physical similarity the hardware is completely different. So if you do find someone, make sure they don't just have the AS-7608 / 7609.
