Hi Guys
Just to share what i know about digi radio..
From my understanding is that you will need to install a box (reciever) inorder to have super clear cd like radio feeling while listening,i maybe wrong but cost abt $400 ++

DAB stands for digital audio broadcasting. With DAB radio, you will enjoy a higher sound quality with Digital Radio. Digital radio channels you can receive are 90.5, 92.4, 93.3, 93.8, 95.0,97.2, 98.7 and 99.5. On top of that, you can receive another five DAB-only stations namely Cruise, Club Play, JK-Pop, Chinese Evergreen and Planet Bollywood.
The device looks similar to a portable gps. It can work with all headunits either through fm transmitter or aux in (preferred).
Cars using Bosch antenna should have better quality as compared to stock.
Feel free to call me at 97813868 for all your DAB and car audio enquiries. Thank you for your interests.

The reason why all our Honda car's reception are soooo crappy is becos of the UV films which we have installed. It actually sort of "blocks" out the reception (at least that's what several audio installers told me). It will not solve the problem, even if U use those internal antennas like Bosch.....cos it's still blocked out by the UV films (heard that V-cool works the best...in blocking out UV plus reception!).
If U are using "upgraded" audios like Pioneer or Alpine or......the reception will be worst off as compared to OEM set HU... Also mentioned by the installers.
So after a couple of years, I finally bite the bullet and have just installed an external antenna and the reception is strong again! (only this afternoon!) However, U need to drill a hole on yr roof....it comes with rubber couplings to prevent rain sippage. Looks like a mini-BMW fin like antenna. Looks fine...
Funny...the bass seems to be stronger as well....need to turn my subwoofer volume down a lil.....now I am a happy FM man!!!
On another note, the DAB should have better quality but a good antenna is a MUST...if not, you invest in a DAB unit but sound will still be crappy.......LPPL

I dont think UV has anything to do with reception, Because the antenna is outside the car.
Stock HU's are not designed for hi quality music. They are better than older FM receivers simply because of the receiver used. There are many types of tuners around and i prefer the radio sound of Pioneers. Their tuners are good.
But the only way to get High quality sound is via DAB.
Or what i do, use an iphone and get their digital stream off the internet on your cell phone. That is equal to the DAB
