I have a 2016 MY17 GTI...does my car have DAB+ radio? I can't seem to find a definitive answer and I can't find it anywhere on the infotainment system so I assume it doesn't have it?

Unless you have retrofitted a Discover Pro you won't have DAB.
Go to radio and press on band in the bottom left.
If you see DAB there as well as FM and AM then you have DAB
Not available as an option from VW in Aus though for mk7....

Sounds interesting, I assume its an external device like a Dension DAB U?Originally Posted by mickofoz
I had a quick look on the ars24 website but can't find anything for Golf7 resembling a DAB add-on.
Can you provide a direct link?

What’s everyone obsession with DAB? Why not save yourself the money, buy a streaming service subscription and enjoy chatter free music?
It costs around $400 to retrofit, that’s 3 years of digital Apple Music subscription on full price that you can take everywhere with you. Even cheaper on Spotify.
Unless people actually enjoy listening to others talking on the radio? Gives me road rage when I listen to their “discussions”.

You may need to use google translate for this site but it isn’t that expensive. For your car all you probably need is a splitter.

What good is a splitter? The head unit has no DAB tuner...you still need something to receive and decode the DAB signal.
The splitter is just so you don't need a separate antenna should you have an actual DAB tuner to connect it to.

Fair enough. It was my understanding that VW units have everything built in just not activated. But you’re probably right. Need the find out more details.
