Title: RCD510 - DAB Installed. Aerial help
Post by: james on May 07, 2011, 06:43:48 pm

I have installed the rcd510 and noticed the connections where different for the FM/AM /DAB.  So i put the brown wire on the FM2 connection.  I then removed the casing of the connecition and stuck it on the dab connection.

As soon below.

Where do i buy a dab aerial as the dab radio is poor,  cuts in and out and it is fine in my old mans car.

Thanks

Try one of these, also take that connection out asap, has the fm1 + 2 have a small current going through them and will damage the DAB module.

Remember you'll need a cable from the antenna to the HU.

The point I was making is that if you order the antenna you linked, it doesn't look like it includes the cable.
