I have a 1991 Mazda MX5, currently in the UK and considering adding a DAB radio before moving to Switzerland.

Do I also need to install a DAB ariel/antenna ?

  • Aren’t dab radios different for each country? At least that seems to be what I found... perhaps it has changed?

    Well I wanted a particular radio station via dab radio and it was not available for the country I was in. But good luck.

  • Perhaps they did not broadcast that far? Couldn't your radio fall back on FM?

No - although you will need an antenna splitter (something like this) as the DAB aerial connector is different.

As a side note you'll also want to ensure that the headunit you buy has DAB+ compatibility - most new kit now should have it but it's going to be unpleasant if it doesn't and you get to Switzerland where the vast majority of stations are DAB+.
