Hello fellow members and friends,
how can I determine if my car has a DAB radio available and how can I activate it?

Not sure if a definitive answer can be found from it, but I would suggest posting an Auto-Scanso people can see exactly how the vehicle is equipped.

All I can say, DAB and FM are separate menus under Radio, if you have it. I thought DAB radio was standard.

So the data for your 5F module implies that this module (or at least a variant thereof that uses the same ASAM data) can support DAB.

Try this: Access 5F, Coding, Long Coding Helper, allow Experimental Coding and have a look at Byte 10. I cannot guarantee any success with that. It's entirely possible that you have a variant that doesn't support it, or that it would require enabling via an FEC code (SoftWare As Product).

This is what module 5F at Byte 10 reported back:
Byte 10 Binary:0000000
Bit 0-3 00 Byte_10_Band_Settings_DAB_Tuner_Band_1,OFF
Bit 4-7 00 Byte_10_Band_Settings_DAB_Tuner_Band_2,OFF

I hope I can enable DAB radio finally...
Regards,
John

So what happens if you change those to bands appropriate to your location?

I have yet to see DAB being a software/coding/adaptation-only tweak. In my experience DAB is always a separate coax wire going into the radio, with a separate in-line signal amplifier. If radio signals come from a roof mounted antenna, a different model roof antenna with an additional input is required. If the radio signal comes from wires integrated into the rear window glass you’ll usually won’t have to replace that.

And then there’s also the radio itself. As far as I know, they still make dedicated part numbers for models with and without DAB. Don’t know of this changed with MQB/MLB, but why would they?

MasterTommy, you are right....

The MIB2 units with DAB have an additional coax antenna input (Black FAKRA connector on back of the MIB2 unit), and a full DAB receiver, paired with a DAB antenna booster located in the right C-pillar.

To be more specific:
Modules 5F with part number 8W5035036 are MIB2 units without DAB receiver; :cry:
Modules 5F with part number 8W5035035 are MIB2 units with DAB receiver. :rolleyes:

Hope the situation is clear.

Regards.

Which also can be seen on Component description: MU-P-LN-EU
with DAB it is: MU-P-LND-EU and PR-code QV3, instead of QV0/QV1 (without DAB)

Unfortunately the module installed is the lower version one without DAB tuner...
It is annoying, finally, that you must pay extra for every single wire is installed rather than standard inside this car...
Thanks everyone who replied and helped.

That's been the "VAG Way" for many years - with a few notable exceptions such as pre-wiring for satellite radio in NA cars.

Maybe the tiny weight saving helps meet the WLTP figures :D

I think that was to make it easy to offer the satellite radio as a dealer-installed option.

Wire costs money! :)
