DAB Radio for TD5
Does anyone have any recommendations for a single DIN digital radio for a TD5.

I am looking for a straight swap and hopefully something that will stop popping out of the fascia!

Thank you for any suggestions.

Been tempted with the Pioneer SPH-20DAB as it also includes a phone mount, no charging though. It is not expensive mind at just over £100

As for the fitting, that in a TD5, a good fit is down to the cage being properly installed and the support peg on the back being slotted on to the hole at the back of the bulkhead.

The Pioneer is a decent unit I’ve had one for a few years now and you charge it with a short USB plug in to that little rectangle hole on the left side. I would not hesitate to recommend it. Thumbs Up

I believe DAB is still something in the UK? Having moved around the world quite a lot I have given up on DAB personally, does not seems like it is catching on in Europe...

I found that all one need is Bluetooth and a phone. To keep space in the center dash I recently installed just a Bluetooth receiver with a remote operator panel in a custom bracket in the center console

Works great (sorry for this froggy Amazon version).

Good solution TR Thumbs Up I only ever use the phone over the stereo so perhaps this is a better way going forward.

I had forgotten about this one, apologies. You could go one up with DAB and a reverse camera...
