hammerdw Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I have a 2011 ford fiesta which had a standard ford radio, i have changed this for a sony dab and had been told i would need a new dab aerial which i have fitted. the radio is working with both aerials plugged in but the menu does not show the dab options. does anybody have any ideas?

DanGersFord Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 You'll probably need to do a software update aswel. Ps welcome to the club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryNLD Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Your dealer must enable the DAB function with the IDS computer. It is not that easy, I fitted the Sony DAB radio (AA6T-18C815-XG) and my dealer could change the settings but the onboard computer changed it back as soon as the settings were confirmed. My dealer told me that they need the specific asbuild data from a fiesta with a factory fitted Sony DAB. Over here in the Netherlands the Sony DAB was never a listed option, so my Sony DAB project is dead. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
