Bought one of these recently from Halfords. They are cheaper places online but I had some gift vouchers to use.
It receives DAB signal and re transmits it on FM which the existing radio picks up, so sound isn't as pure as true DAB, but you do get the full whack of stations. It comes with a power lead with a cigarette lighter plug which I cut off and added a piggy back fuse which i connected to fuse 2 in the rear compartment. This controls the audio system powering up and down so the unit powers up and down with all the other radio units.
I then tucked the unit out of the way in the rear compartment.
I fitted the separate aerial to the rear right window and fed the lead down behind the rear pillar cover.
The wireless controller fitted perfectly in the little square tray in front of the gear stick.
The DAB unit transmits on 87.6 which can be changed if needs be. I programmed pre set 1 to the DAB. As you can see it also transmits, station name and track being played. Clever stuff!
Another bonus is that the unit has an AUX input, so i bought a 5 meter AUX lead from Tesco unthreaded it behind the side trim, under the door treads, under the drivers seat and underneath the centre console to come out in the centre cubby box. It is MP3 and i-pod compatible too, as well as keeping the cd changer!
