Hi, I have a 2012 fiesta. It had the standard Ford stereo in, none DAB. I bought a Sony/DAB stereo off ebay,
I have fitted it and I get no DAB menu,

What do I need to get the DAB working and where can I buy it from?

The Sony DAB stereo I have is model  RADIO AHU DAB, Part number AA6T-18C815-XB. Any help would be apprecated.

 

Thanks

Did you fit the dab adaptor for the aerial?
I believe you need the cable, aerial and base to do a factory style fit.
Alternatively you could try this which I believe will be a lot easier and cheaper than the oem Ford parts-

Hi, I don't even get a DAB menu, so fitting an alternative aerial would make no differnce. The car stereo has 2 aerial sockets, 1 black and 1 white, the car has matching aerial cables which are connected.

DAB radios do normally need power through the aerial to boost the signal reception. The Sony DAB I retroffited to my mk6 does this through the powerfeed into the stereo but you need to turn it on in a sub menu on the stereo.

Hi How do I get into the sub menu to turn it on. At the moment I don't even get a DAB option on the radio menu

Hi I bought the radio of ebay and fitted it myself, here is the model number sticker

 

I had an aftermarket DAB stereo in my MK6, I've only had this car a few weeks.
