DAB+ on Evoque

Hi,

I understand that there is only DAB radio available on the Evoque, but seeing that a lot the new channels at least here in Norway are transmitting on DAB+, I can't listen to these stations, anyone know if RR can do a firmware upgrade to support DAB+ in the future?

More information about DAB and DAB+ here

RE: DAB+ on Evoque

Since it was released in 2007? I'd be suprised if the hardware isn't compatible?
Unless you know that for sure?

Ordered: Fuji Dynamic Lux Coupe / style 7 wheels / Privacy glass / adaptive xenons / something else which I've forgotton.
Should be end of April (was March, then April, then end of May/June).

That's what I thought as well, so I'm kinda curious why Evoque dosen't have DAB+ support "out of the box".

RE: DAB+ on Evoque

Sadly this is another feature that lets the car down here in Germany as all DAB is now broadcast on DAB+. Unbelievably there is some small print in the RRE German price list that says if you order DAB it doesn't work in Germany!

At least for MY2014 they have finally started offering heated rear seats, active cruise control, climate seats etc which it competitors here have had for years.. Very infuriating.

RE: DAB+ on Evoque

Despite what the 2014 bumf says Adaptive Cruise is NOT available for 2014, maybe for 2014.5 or 2015. It is the same for Disco4 - was supposed to have it for 2014 but it isn't getting either. I have heard that FFRR and RRS have had some issues with the other software toys that come as part of the same package which is possibly why LR aren't offering it yet on the other cars.

DAB+ - there was an item on the Radio4 consumer programme at lunchtime today - BBC is not going to upgrade to DAB+ any time soon as there are now more than 10,000,000 DAB radios in use in the UK that cannot be upgraded to DAB+ - only the most recent radios in the UK (approx 4,000,000 sets) can be upgraded.

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.
