SDP10 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Hi all, just wondering if you could help me, I've installed all dab components from radio to new wiring and splitting off and sending other cable down to boot to pick up the booster. I've got the white plug going to my booster, I have another cable coming off it. I have posted a picture below to show, does anyone know if I have to have this to make DAB work if so where does it go to? Others talk about the groundplate? I'm not sure if I have this, does anyone have a picture which they could share to enlighten me on this! Cheers sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbojambojumbo Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 finally got Dab to work in the 09 fiesta titanium i wouldn't say its been an easy retrofit the problem most people will come up against is firstly finding the right part numbers especially in a pre-facelift without sync the parts needed are AA6T-18BC815-XG sony audio control module and sony screen (the original screen in a prefacelift will most likely not be able to show DAB in its menu at least mine wouldn't even after updating its software to the latest version) they do come up on eBay this radio only has the the 2 fakra aerial connectors and one 24 pin plug on the rear so if you have the early loom you will need to make a modified loom from two parrot leads there is a guide for this titled retro fit non dab to fiesta mk7. Aerial Parts needed finis numbers 1559265 Aerial Mast 1766996 Aerial wire (from radio to mast) this finis number has possibly been superseded i don't have the new number however i do have the part number BA6T-18812-DC 1738453 Aerial base 1748717 Aerial wire that connects to 1766996 and runs to the rear 1744786 Aerial amplifier (cheaper on the bay with the mount bracket BA6T-18C847-AB) 1473776 Bolt to mount aerial amplifier 1767007 Small loom that links aerial amplifer to Dab rear aerial (groundplate) that mounts behind the bumper BA6T-18A886-BC 1780026 Rear dab aerial (ground plate) BA6T-18A886-AC you will also need someone with a ucds obd programmer TO MODIFY THE ASBUILT FILE AND UPLOAD TO THE BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) AND IPC (INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER) YOU WILL NEED TO SWAP PINS 7&9 IN THE SCREEN PLUG (FCDIM) AS THE SONY SCREEN HAS DIFFERENT PIN OUTS TO THE STANDARD SCREEN AND WILL NOT LIGHT UP IF YOU DON'T (AND AS STATED EARLIER THE ORIGINAL IS NOT CAPABLE IN PRE FACE LIFTS OF SHOWING DAB IN MENU AT LEAST MINE 8A6T-18B955-BH WASN'T I DISCONNECTED battery AND RECONNECTED AND AFTER DOING ALL THIS DAB WAS IN THE MENU.
