[Europe] DAB+ reception and reliability

[widodh]

Quite disappointed here in the UK to find out after taking delivery of my P85D that DAB radio is not standard<br><br>It is standard in many cars, so why not a Tesla?<br><br>The SIM in the car is assigned to a Spanish IP, and so due to licensing issues, I can't listen to BBC Radio 5 Live & Sports extra.<br><br>I don't want an add-on box<br><br>Is there a fix for this? *

DAB is available, but I think it's only on there when you have a Sound Studio package.

I have DAB(+) on my Model S from Sept 2013. They are going to replace my receiver however on Nov 5th due to a small glitch in the older models, but that's all.

It used to be part of the premium sound package here, but when I ordered in May 2015 it was already standard. I don't know when and why they changed it, maybe because they are planning to shut down analog radio in Switzerland in a few years.

Bumping this old thread

I took my S to the UK last week and what I noticed is that the DAB(+) reception in the UK is much, much, much better than in the Netherlands.

I used to blame my Model S for having bad reception, but with my experience in the UK (Folkstone <> Oxford) I'm beginning to wonder if it's not the DAB network in NL which is just poor.
