Rossbclarke123 29 Posted December 22, 2013 I also have this problem with the Ford DAB, totally given up now!! So any one got ideas?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pete14tc 3 Posted December 22, 2013 I have the Titanium with a Dab radio and receive all the channels including Kiss, Capital LBC etc. live on the Surrey stretch of the M25 but channels do drop out the further I travel West. The problems you may have maybe regional. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alexp999 3,065 Posted December 23, 2013 Does sound like it might be due to signal, I'm pretty sure I have KISS although don't use DAB that much so would have to check. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pete14tc 3 Posted December 23, 2013 One thing that might be worth a try is powering your phone off, I don't use an I-phone myself but powering off my I-pad in the past has resolved a lot of Apple problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rossbclarke123 29 Posted December 23, 2013 When u say master reset do you mean on the iPhone? Have u tried deleting the iPhone from the car and re pairing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Onkar 0 Posted December 23, 2013 I done the master reset on the sync setting within my car and I have deleted my phone from the bluetooth devices in the car Also I have re added the phone but it's still not working Can I take my car back to fords Will these issues be covered by the warranty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rossbclarke123 29 Posted December 23, 2013 Yes it will be covered under manufacturer warranty, so they should sort it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Onkar 0 Posted December 23, 2013 If you have an iPhone Can you connect via USB And if it's paying via bluetooth are your track names displayed on the car screen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rossbclarke123 29 Posted December 23, 2013 No on my focus with sync, track names do not appear. It's a shame really as with the Fiesta with just bluetooth and not sync it does show track names. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimrex 50 Posted December 29, 2013 I have the Sony DAB stereo and find that DAB stations vary depending where I am, Capital will work at home (Cambridge) but there's barely any stations other than BBC available at work (Milton Keynes); it is dependent on regional variations. I tend to stream Spotify via bluetooth from my Samsung Galaxy S4 and find that occasionally it pauses itself, though I reckon it may be a software glitch on my phone. I don't get track names either, but I used to on my old iPhone. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Ford OC mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stuartr26 7 Posted January 2, 2014 I have a 2013 Titanium X as well - have always had issues with my DAB radio and have now given up trying to use it. I live in Sussex and I have noticed that in some areas the signal is fine (the further South I go). Whereas around where I live and around the dealership I bought the car from, the signal is terrible. It doesn't pick up many of the main stations. I spoke to the Ford dealer I bought the car from and they said it is just down to poor signal strength. I don't know if this is them coming up with an excuse but I'm happy at the moment just plugging my iPod in to play music. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rossbclarke123 29 Posted February 22, 2014 Am pleased to say I have now managed to get kiss, capital and all that. I now have a different car (but same spec/radio) but same area so not to sure what's changed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yunii 1,156 Posted February 22, 2014 Funny how different dab radio units pick up different. In the same region . Yunii Sent from my GT-I9505 using Ford OC mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
