Anyone had issues getting DAB to work ? I've got nothing at all - no stations, nothing other than the DAB button.

Do have DAB signal and stations in the house...

DAB is so hit and miss; whether it’s old cars or modern ones, the ability to tune into many DAB stations is really erratic. I think a lot depends on the strength of the signal picked up by the aerial. BMWs with external roof mounted shark type aerials seem to perform better than any car which has an aerial impregnated into the windscreen.

I'm maybe being impatient and got used to good DAB in previous cars - I'll give it another go tomorrow......

No issues in mine. It picks up a huge number of stations on DAB. This is the H section in the alphabetical station list view.

Do you have a dashcam - if so it may be interfering with it?

Yup - thanks Speedluvver, that worked !

Full station choice available and Favourites selected.

Nothing like a clear handbook to help wink

To be fair to Lotus it does say to pull the screen down to refresh the station list on page 21 of the Infotainment Guide book. I hadn't read it either biggrin
