Anyone fitted a Blaupunkt DAB Woodstock 53

[GaryDVO]

Just a Quick question .

Has anyone fitted a Blaupunkt DAB Digital Car Radio 'Woodstock 53' in a Elise.

Its time to change the Kenwood for a DAB unit.

How easy is it to fit the ariel? What is the reception like?

New to piston heads.

Cheers - Gary

Hi Gary, I can't comment on this particular model of stereo but fitting a stereo to an Elise that has the fitting kit in it i.e. the cables and a basic chassis is a piece of pi55. Took me about 4 minutes! Really easy, don't go paying Halfords 40 quid to do it!

Actually Gary, i see you're in Berkshire, so am i. If you need a hand let me know and i'll pop round. But it really is easy. The DAB reception should be a great improvement over the standard, so good luck.

I fitted the Kenwood when I bought the car oh so many years ago.

I gather that a DAB ariel is different from the standard cp

Opps told you I was new. Hit the wrong Button.

As I was saying. If you know of anybody playing with a DAB unit I would welocome any advice.

Keep me posted of any meets you may be going to in Berks.

IIRC, the Woodstock 53 is standard kit for 111r's with Touring Pack. It does need a special aerial, separate from the usual FM type.

If you look here, there are various options which can be bought together with the head unit.
