Need help to get DAB

[John]

First off, I'm a complete novice when it comes to car audio and it's
terminology but here goes - be gentle :o)

I've got a Pioneer KEH-P6900R (that's what it says on the removable head
unit anyway - I've got no idea what's behind the dashboard that this head
unit plugs into) and I've also got a Pioneer CDX-P25 6-CD changer unit in
the boot that's controlled by this head unit.

I want to go DAB so that I can listen to stations like Planet Rock etc., on
the move. Is it just a question of changing head units and still being able
to keep the CD player and existing wiring, or, as I suspect, will I have to
change everything?

Cheers,

John.

If you can find a Pioneer GEX-P700DAB and an AN-70DAB (which is
debatable now, as they were discontinued about 18 months ago) then you
could simply connect these to your existing system with control via
the head unit itself.

If you can find just the tuner but not the aerial, then you'll
probably get away with using JVC's HAL2 instead.

If you can't find a tuner at all, Pioneer don't currently offer one,
so you'd have to replace everything, or connect one of the aftermarket
add-on units (ie. Revo or similar, again assuming you can find one)
with seperate control via Pioneer's CD-RB20 interface.
