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,

  • DAB/Digital Radio?

    G'day everyone. My first post here. I'm going to be taking delivery of a new Tiguan within the next week.

    I was wondering if the radio system in the Tiguan is DAB or digital, or just the standard analogue?

    I had a search to see if this question had already been answered, but couldn't find anything (apologies if it has already been covered!).

    I suspect it will be analogue. The VW Website will detail waht you're looking for.

      Yeah, the website just mentions AM/FM radio (not stipulating either, leading me to believe that it is most likely just your standard analogue type), however, I noticed in a YouTube clip that DAB was available (perhaps just overseas?).

        In the UK (possibly all of Europe?) you can get a DAB unit. But here in Aus we use DAB+ which is not backward compatible with DAB. I think we are one of only a handful of countries in the world that have gone DAB+ instead of DAB, so radios of ANY sort are pretty limited at the moment.

        The only car DAB+ unit I have heard of rebroadcasts the DAB+ signal as standard FM radio to your car radio - which kind of defeats the object of the digital radio doesn't it? Anyway, I think it's made by PURE if you are interested.

          Apparently one can now get this puppy in Aus also.
