So I purchased the above and installed in my VW T5 and am extremely happy with it (apart from a few bugs) However I wanted to use DAB as Spotify will cost fortunes in data.
I purchased a Dension DAB-U USB connected unit thinking that as it emulates MP3 I would have no problems getting it to work!
How wrong I was! After a call to Dension tech I discovered that there are a large number of config files available to make it work with various head units including some pioneer ones.
Having tried all of them I still have no DAB and Dension say that it could be a long time before they get round to making a config that works! I cannot return the unit as I did not check their compatibility list!
Just a heads up for any potential purchasers of this combo and a question to anybody with experience of this type of tech to see if I may be doing something wrong?

Not yet. Their support is useless!!!!
They are saying that the unit may be faulty but they still haven't given me any returns details!
