Try having a look at the Becker Mexico 7948 - I don't think it's got DAB but the other features might swing the decision...

The standard 356 stereo has a DIN input in the back, just get the right cables and you can plug anything you like into it, ipod, DAB receiver...whatever. If it's not loud enough run the output to an amp hidden under the passenger seat or whatever.

Whilst a little new for your 356 I've also hooked up my phone to a '72 Blaupunkt through the DIN plug. The iPhone docks in the ashtray so I get sat nav and tunes in a 70's 911 and it's all completely hidden smile

I fitted one of these in my '67 Westfalia and its really rather good for the money (a fraction of the Mexico).

They look rather similar to the Custom auto sound units available for American cars.







I put one in my Cougar a few months ago. Seems pretty good, and cheaper than the Moss ones too.
