DAB+ radio anyone????

hehe, I was surprised to hear all the hip English songs being played on a Mexican station the other day. Some stations are higher bitrate than others. Also podcasts are an option.

I too frequently use tunein via the bluetooth and aslong as the programs you listen to have a higher bit rate and you've got decent mobile coverage (i.e Telstra) the audio quality is quite good.

I just upgraded my BlueTooth to 9W7 so I can stream TuneIn (Internet) Radio from my phone so I'll stick with that for now and wait for some videos showing these internal kits in action on the RNS510.

Hi Ryan.
When u listen to TuneIn Radio via Bluetooth to ur VW, does ur phone battery drain out quite quickly? I realize Bluetooth drains the battery quite quickly when I'm using my iPhone paired up w my Bluetooth hands free ear piece. If u plug ur phone into the media plug on ur car, wld u still have to pair ur bluetooth up w ur unit to listen to tunein?

I've got a car mount wired up to the 12v so that's not an issue.

I did listen to music via BT stored on the phone for an hour the other day and battery usage was less than 7% (didn't check it for another hour or two after arriving at work).

TuneIn in the car will use 3G, which is similar to talking on the phone - so find the talk time stat of your particular phone. The lower your signal, the more power the phone uses to send voice/data over 3G.
