Have been seeing a bit recently about the end of FM radio with the government committing to beginning switch over from 2015 (less than 2 years)
These days many people have DAB radios in the home but apparently something like 25+million cars currently would be left with obsolete radios as still the majority of manufactures still fit non dab units as standard.
Fiat has to be one of the worst offenders with very few cars having a DAB radio usually a special model or expensive optional extra.
in the next year or so I plan to put a DAB in my MK2b punto just to update it more than anything an i see Pure have recently launched a couple of new head units with some pretty good features.
How will you deal with digital switch over? especially those with blue and me radios which aren't easily replaced? will fiat release something to aid these owners if buying a new car would you be prepared to pay the premium of an dab head unit ? will be interesting to see what people think of this as its likely to be the biggest pain in the arse for motorists over the next couple of years
