    Hi thanks for the reply 😊

    I’m trying to activate DAB and tell the car it has a digital radio. I have done the retro fit SONY DAB radio. Everything working until the ECU kicked it off.

    If you have a laptop, then download FORScan and connect up with a good ELM327 lead and it's a quick 2 minute job to change.

    I just don’t have a decent laptop or the correct lead. Haven’t done anything like this before. Was hoping someone with FORScan could assist and I would pay for their service. Thanks.

    Just tagging this old post from Dave on here as it will help with the DAB programming of the ECU

    So just as I post that DAB just disappears from the list when you keep pressing radio. Tried turning it off and on again but nothing. It was really strange as I was just pairing my phone up again (had DAB BBC Radio 1 on in the background) and when I went to press the radio button nothing happened, starting to think it was a dud unit. Anyway when I managed to cycle though FM,AM etc. it just wasn't there.

    Decided now was the time to break out FORscan and my modified Elm327 adaptor, quick look into the IPC data and I found it didn't have DAB radio system enabled. Quick write to the ECU (and some weird stuff happening on my dash, all my gauges kept clicking as wrote it's data) and boom it's back again.

    Sat here now for a good 10 minutes fiddling around with settings etc. and not gone away. I think I can call this one a victory.
