If this has been posted before please direct me cause I cant find what I want.

The radio in my kombi has only got am/fm and it keeps losing the Bluetooth capabilities, not sure if its repairable or even worth it as I'm fed up with fm stations and can only get radio 5 live (or dead). Does anyone know what my options are for replacement, any of the ones I've seen don't mention steering wheel controls.

I think the aerial for DAB is inside the door mirror so if yours has been damaged that might be it.  AFAIK you are dependant on others to provide good coverage for any particular area with DAB, a bit like a mobile signal in a way.  Hopefully someone else here can tell you more but there are plenty of specialist car audio forums out there otherwise.  The bluetooth problem is probably unconnected.  Your best bet is to go and speak to (and research online) your local car audio places.  Depending on your budget there are plenty of nice choices out there.  Smile

Sorry, and thanks for your reply, I don't think I made myself very clear My radio doesn't have Dab as standard, its just am/fm so I'm looking to upgrade really.

Ha!  My fault, I should have read more carefully!  Have a good ask around first because I have heard that it isn't really worth it unless you are city based and can guarantee a good signal.  Things might have improved more these days though.
