Has anyone had a Citroen AUTODAB or EZI-DAB fitted to their car by a Citroen dealer? Citroen are offering a "deal" on these accessories at the moment.

Worth looking at how cheap aftermarket DAB head units are. I have put a Pioneer in mine for not a lot of money, with a magnetic aerial routed out of the sliding door. Works great and well under £100

Yes, I've got one of those - not in the Citroen, but in my other car. It is very good.

I had a DAB fitted by the Citroen dealer when I bought my new Berlingo a year ago. It never worked properly, and even with it (allegedly) turned off, you could hardly hear FM. The dealer was unable to sort it out, eventually admitting they had only ever fitted one before. I got so cheesed off with it, I went to an independent car radio specialist, who took the cheap unit out and replaced it with a better one. It cost about £150 and works surperbly now. I don't think the Citroen dealer, with whom I have normally been very pleased, was familiar with these DAB units. I like DAB because I particularly enjoy BBC 4 Extra, which is only on DAB. When I get another Berlingo I'll take it straight to the independent radio specialist for them to fit a DAB unit, unless DAB is then part of a proper DAB/FM radio.
