Hi mums birthday thursday dont know what to get. She said shes been told about a dab radio converter to go in a car. Its the new shape mk5 astra it would be going in.

Anyone know anything about them and is it as easy as plugging somthing into the back of the cd player?

yeah DAB's gash on the move, will get better with digital switchover as they pump up voltage levels. digital transmissions are damn sight more susceptable to interference and noise. ipod + fm transmitter ftw
