my brother has had 2 blaupunkt DAB units in his car and they are very good, 1 of which he passed down to me which i had for about 2months. 1 thing i would suggest is get it properly fitted by a car audio shop (not halfrauds) as the areial that is usually supplied by halfrauds isnt correct and dosnt let you appreciate all the bennifits of DAB.

Saxooas DAB is radio broadcasted digitally, read here for the benefits http://www.bbc.co.uk/digitalradio/about/
Banger that is the revo unit everyone is on about you get an aerial that sticks to the front windscreen, it is like a piece of tape with two metal strips in in an L-shape. All you need to do is hook it up to 12v supply and earth.:y:
