Digital Radio or DAB+ (Digital Audio Broadcast) is the latest in-car radio technology available to people who love listening to radio in the car.
In-car radio transmission has come a long way from when FM radio was first introduced to Australian vehicles in the 1970s. The trusty, traditional AM/FM radio has remained dependable over the years, but the superior advantages that digital broadcast radio offers cannot be denied, so more and more motorists are switching to digital radio in Australia’s major cities. Today, many new cars in Australia come equipped with digital radio receivers. The digital radio network in Australia uses DAB+ architecture, which utilizes a highly efficient audio codec known as AAC+.
Yes, you can. Most digital-radio-enabled factory/OEM car stereos and aftermarket DAB+ receivers also incorporate AM/FM radios, so you get to enjoy your favourite AM/FM stations in crystal clear audio along with the many awesome stations you can only get with a DAB+ receiver.
Digital Radio is not likely to replace traditional AM/FM radio any time soon. The AM/FM radio will probably remain a standard feature in car stereos until a comprehensive digital radio broadcasting framework is set in place in Australia, and that may take a while.
Digital radio is only available in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, Canberra, Adelaide, Darwin, and Hobart. Outside the boundaries of these cities, your DAB+ receiver will struggle to get a signal so you will have to use your AM/FM radio in such areas.
Yes, digital radio can be installed in your vehicle in several ways, depending on the year, make and model of your vehicle. We at Mobile Audio Concepts are ready to supply and install a new head-unit solution with a DAB+ receiver and all the latest features like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, parking cameras, etc. We can also integrate a DAB+ module into your OEM system via the USB, AUX in port or via the car’s optical fiber network. If you have your own digital-radio-enabled head unit, we can also install it for you in your car.
In-car digital radio solutions require a DAB+ antenna to be installed in the vehicle, and a on glass antenna will come with the kit. Other antenna solutions can be added instead of the windscreen mounted to suit certain applications and these can include: external glass mount antennas, magnetic mount antennas, roof-mounted antennas like shark fin antennas, and other DAB antenna solutions.
