DIY DAB retrofit to early Model S?

[red_five]

I was a bit surprised to find that my 2014 Model S doesn't have a DAB radio. I thought that all European S had it, but obviously not.

Has anyone retrofitted DAB to their S, if so what do I need to buy. I can change the gw config if necessary.

Has it had the Infotainment upgrade ? Infotainment Upgrade

No, it's still MCU1

Its an expensive way of doing it but upgrading the MCU and optioning the radio module for an extra £400 or so would get you DAB but a total cost of around £2k for a car worth maybe in the high 20k/low 30k might be a tough expensive.

To answer your other question, DAB came with the premium sound option until mid 2015 when it became standard fit.

Thanks. So I should be able to source the parts to upgrade from a 2015-on car. Is DAB a separate module or part of the tuner?

I don't know how you'd source one or whether it is even a skilled DIY option (as the software would need to be enabled on your car and I know people have had the MCU2 upgrade done with the radio module and Tesla forgot to enable it), but if it was possible, then I imagine there are lots of the modules being ripped out of cars when they have the MCU2 upgrade done.
