It is estimated that by 2015, all new vehicles will be fitted with DAB digital radios, but just three years ago that percentage was below five per cent. This means that the vast majority of vehicles on the roads cannot receive digital programmes. Now, quite apart from the fact that any music enthusiast must listen to Radio 6 Music (only available on digital) there will come a time when FM ceases, so a conversion kit seems a good idea to us. Indeed, the government is due to announce when the ‘switch over’ to DAB will happen later this year. This new kit has been produced by Celsus, which when fitted upgrades your existing car audio system. You can buy direct (at a cost of £149.99, inc VAT) by going online to DAB Motion. You will also find out where your nearest installer is located, and you should be able to get this fitted for a total of around £200.
