Hi mate

looks like it has sat nav already built in and the sd card to the left hand side at the bottom is it's software all you need is a antenna with you can get in ebay any chance of a photo of the wiring loom and the back of the unit?

I doubt it very much, in fact id bet that it wouldn't work, I know eonon make a DAB unit to plug in to their headunits to make them work with DAB, but they are quite expensive, around £70 or there abouts and are specific to their headunits

your headunit looks like a typical generic Chinese job, it should have satnav unless it didn't come with a GPS receiver but don't count on getting DAB on it any time soon. 

unless youre absolutely dead set on having a big display + sat nav , i'd be flogging that no brand ching chong unit on ebay and getting something with

sony stamped on it instead if you just want to fit a unit that sounds better , looks nicer , and has extra features like dab etc.

sorry got the wrong message here I do have a eonon unit that has a dab facility and I did purchase a dab antenna but if I am honest the reception is mot great and probably a waist of money  but when I had my Sony head unit with dab that also had dead area's where you lost the signal completely
