Can anyone help? I am looking for an in car dab radio for my husband for his van for a christmas present, but I don't have a clue. has anyone heard of revo? the sell these add on boxes on ebay for around £70, or should I buy him a complete unit?

any advise or comments? have you got one and its great or rubbish?

or should I just get him some slippers?

I had one problem you can have is with the ariel. Cheapest option is a glass mounted ariel - basicly sticks on (noramlly get one bundled with the headset). Some get on ok with this, I didn't, wind noise & reception was pretty poor. So in the end I fitted a proper dab ariel to replace the existing car ariel, pros reception far better, cons cost more than the headset to buy & fit.

I've seen the aeials advertised. they are around £45,but i thought if he wanted one he could buy that himself!!.

did your dab plug into the original radio then?

I was thinking of getting one of these for my Combo van a while back but could never get an answer from Vauxhall about RCA connectors on the in car radio/cd player :rolleyes:, so if you do get him one let us know if it's any good! £99.99 inc vat and fitting.

He will have to have an aerial otherwise dab wont work ! No I changed the whole head unit, have at look over at the avforums.com theres a dab forum the revo might be you best bet, & a few folks have them over there.
