Dab Radio

Post by Bungie » Mon Dec 13, 2010 7:23 am

Dab radio is not working. NO signal. Any settings that need changing, software update ! as i read somewhere about dab +

It's on national and regional and set to switch to fm if signal is lost so it's just been on fm.

I take it you have coverage from DAB transmissions locally, and the transmitter is not undergoing maintenance? The signal is 1/10th of the power of the VHF FM Services or less.

Other than the aerial having fallen off, I can't think of anything obvious. DAB+ not avail in UK yet and needs a different receiver.

Is it on manual tune? Manual tune may mean it's listening on the wrong multiplexes and frequencies in your area. I have a different iDrive and having just crippled my spine again it's a bit difficult to get to the car at present to get the manual out.

Just a few then........ :D

I know what you mean about going and having a play too...... :rofl: :driving:

I can't even sit in mine at present as it looks like I might have a damaged disc in my spine which means strong drugs and no driving. I had a disc repaied a couple of years back and it may be that I now need another one fixing :cry: :cry:

I could not drive for a year and now I have an X6 with only 600 miles on it........ :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
