Vauxhall retailers offer upgrade to fully integrated DAB radio

Great news for radio/music lovers has just been released from Vauxhall. Van drivers can now tune into the latest audio entertainment, with Vauxhall’s excellent value DAB upgrades, available for Astravan, Corsavan, New Combo, Vivaro and Movano. Offering crystal-clear reception of national and regional radio stations, Digital Audio Broadcasting allows van drivers to enjoy high quality radio behind the wheel. Available as an upgrade for all Vauxhall commercial vehicles, the DAB systems can be quickly and easily fitted by a Vauxhall retailer for just £195.

As many radio broadcasters, including the BBC and Absolute Radio offer digital only stations that can’t be heard via a conventional FM based radio, this news is music to Vuaxhall customers ears. They can now listen to a variety of stations from Radio 4 Extra, Jazz FM, BBC 6 Music, Absolute 80s, Smooth Radio 70s, TalkSPORT, Planet Rock, and more. Although there is an extra cost, many who don't already have an MP3 player or smartphone to pick up the radio stations, will be glad for the upgrade. It can make for a long day if you use your van for work and drive long distances. Sometimes you need a bit of a pick me up from your favourite music or radio dj during your journey.

Vauxhall Product Development Manager, Simon Gibbs said: “It’s great that Vauxhall van drivers will be able to tune into digital radio on the road, with an outstanding choice of stations compared with standard FM radio.”

The DAB upgrade has been developed by Vauxhall with its van models in mind, so it can be completely integrated with existing steering-wheel mounted controls and the installed stereo’s display. The installation is quick and because it’s connected directly into the van’s existing entertainment system, there are no unsightly wires or extra controls to worry about.
