Dension DAB+U

Dension DAB+U

The Dension DAB+U is a product that has remained fairly under the radar until recent months when we did some testing in some Audi & Mercedes vehicles that couldn’t have factory DAB retrofitted but did have the USB either via AMI or Mercedes Input. It literally blew us away with how well it worked and that the car interacted with it as if it was factory equipment.

The Dension DAB+U Digital Radio Receiver is a USB-powered solution for receiving DAB in your car. It does this by plugging directly into your USB port and pretending it’s just a USB Flash Drive with folders and music. Using your factory controls you can move and scroll to different stations, receive Radio text and more. It’s a pretty nifty solution for those cars that can’t have Digital Radio the way the factory intended it to.

Please Note:

• We have two tiers of installation depending on the vehicle. Please get in touch directly prior to purchase to check compatibility. 
• Unlike others, we include the Digital Radio Antenna as part of the kit.
• In some larger vehicles, you will need a Male to Female USB Extension Cable. This is an optional extra so please let us know. You can either purchase your own or we can arrange for one.
• In vehicles with a heated or athermic (UV-resistant) windscreen, a Screen Mount Antenna is not suitable. Please contact us for more info.
• Your vehicle must have a USB Port installed for this to work. For example, this would be Audi AMI (With USB) or Volkswagen MDI (With USB).
