Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Dension DAB+U (DBU2GEN)

    Hi,

    I'm looking to add DAB+ radio to my Alltrack that came with an RNS-510 and the MDI fitted. My initial idea of swapping the RNS-510 for a newer version with DAB+ built in was scuttled when I saw how much the new head unit would cost (almost 2 grand). Double J, ABC Grandstand and clearer AM stations weren't worth quite that much to me.

    I've since come across this unit from Dension for under USD200. It plugs into the MDI and presents the DAB+ stations as pseudo MP3 files. Does anyone have any experience with one of these that can share their thoughts about it?

    Cheers, Graeme

      The Denison does a pretty good job. Plus you can set it up so you can unplug it to plug in a usb drive
