Activate DAB on Sensus V60 2019?

[hellohowdy]

Hello,

is it possible to activate DAB on a V60 MY 2019? A Volvo shop told me I need a different IHU, anything else? Is it possible to activate it using Orbit?

Thanks

It largely depends on the IHU hardware. If it's compatible, you can activate it via Orbit; if not, it won't work.

Thanks, but how can I find out if the IHU supports it? Does it need some extra cabling? Any hardware changes like a different antenna? Or is everything built in and only a software unlock has to be done? If it is only a software unlock, then Volvo is really unsupportive by not allowing to retrofit DAB officially which I would have no problem to pay some reasonable amount of money.

Volvo put IHU with DAB, and without. If your car doesn't have DAB, it means that your car IHU doesn't has DAB

And probably no DAB antenna either. So even if you manage to get it working with the right IHU, the antenna reception is bad.
