Dealer DAB conversion

Hello all,

I live in an Hilly area where the FM reception drifts and dies when I drive and would like to convert to DAB. I have taken a portable DAB radio in the Car with me to test the reception and it is clear all the time. I have the standard fit radio and the UK dealer accessory site quotes £166 conversion excluding fitting costs.

Has anyone had this conversion done and what it cost in total to have fitted?

Tnaks in advance for any replies.

I was interested too and swapped emails with these folks
dabonwheels.co.uk : Hyundai AutoDAB integrated add-on DAB car radio for Hyundai
And emailed with Hyundai as I wanted a dealer fit of this system.
Hyundai were not interested.
I put off the decision - too much risk of damage to the console. Also there would be a windscreen aerial. I am convinced this would be no better that re-using the standard FM aerial on the car roof.
To this day I still think that Hyundai dealerships should offer a standard DAB retrofit that can be done alongside a standard service.
Brand new UK i30s still don't have even a DAB option, this would be a deal breaker on my next car and I told Sales at Hyundai this.
