So i guess not, how would i know on my car if i had it? and whats the benefit of it? On my Focus, it has DAB written on the tip of the antenna as they are different for FM only and DAB cars, could always check that. Although I'm not 100% if they do the same on the Fiesta.

So i guess not, how would i know on my car if i had it? and whats the benefit of it? I was interested in that when i bought my Fiesta. Ive got Sony radio, but DAB is not present in my audio setting. Probably depends on country car is shipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-2912 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 thanks for reply, i will get photos up and the end of the day when home from work. I have pressed the radio button but no dab comes up only fm, dont undertand why Thanks again Nathan To confirm, the method I mentioned earlier (keep on pressing the radio button to scroll through FM>MW>DAB1>DAB2 etc) works in my car. Sounds like you either have a fault or DAB is not installed. Are you sure you spec'd it with DAB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchwood Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 tried tis several times and still no DAB there, i did opt for DAB when i ordered he car. Will have to ring them and see what they can do about it As Dave 2912 said... But if you are not getting dab1 and dab2 on the selection then ford have built your car without it!!!! The standard radio is just a cd with fm/am radio and 6 Speakers, the DAB optional factory extra is £100.00, if you asked for it and there is proof on your order form, or the salesman you dealt with backs you up you have a good argument. But that is only the tip of the iceberg, it will involve then getting a dab radio unit (the bit behind the fascia, maybe upgrading the display screen, they will need to replace the antenna and base unit, and install a dab module that fits to the rear of the car. The worst bit is they have to ENABLE the dab on the cars brain or it simply won't work. So if they download the cars spec file of all functional items/options for your car it will automatically not select dab. It's a pain but like i said if the dealers back you up 100% you could get it done. The alternative is they take the car back after sourcing/ordering you another one to the right spec, i would check to see if you paid for the upgrade, it's £100 for the dab radio and £500 for the Sat Nav dab radio, only 2 options available for Zetec S. Hope that helps.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fordmad12 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I've had now since June, worst mpg 38, best mpg 54.3, any negatives? None whatsoever, I still climb in with a silly grin. Sync works as it should on my Xperia S, although the text side is a "no go" (not bothered about that) Here's my 'beasts' spec..... New Race Red Zetec S 1ltr 125ps engine Full leather Sat nav 17" alloys City pack Privacy glass Heated seats Front & rear mats Zero Road tax Full bodykit Hope you like ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmunkynutz Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Nice Terry!!! How are them alloys for cleaning between the small gaps in the spokes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordmad12 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Nice Terry!!! How are them alloys for cleaning between the small gaps in the spokes? No problems, I use a soft alloy wheel brush with wonder wheels, brush on, rinse of. I've given it a pre winter detail, claying & applying carnoubra wax. It's been a long time since I'd done some 'proper' valeting, forgot what hard work it was :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Would really recommend not using wonder wheels. I used to use it until it ate the centre badges on my fiesta and I started to read all the problems it can cause being so caustic. I use billberry now.
