Ducato UConnect 3 DAB

[AlwynMike]

Picked up a Motorhome based on a 2017 Ducato.
I was disappointed to find that the DAB would only work on local stations, and only sporadically then.
The well documented hidden screen isn't available on mine, and any software update seems non existent.
In the past I've had success with Pioneer screen mounted antennae.
So I bought an Amazon clone (Eightwood) along with an SMB to Fakra adaptor to try it,
First impressions, without a road test are very favourable.
Even picking up a few Dutch stations....I'm in Lincoln!
A long list of available National and Local stations, with my personal favourites coming through clearly.
So £15 and half an hour to fit has been well worth it.

Hello,

Great information, however wrong section of the forum I'd say.

Could you please share more info on the Eightwood antennae and the adapter? Like models, numbers, screenshot of the auction and / or links (those will earlier or later become dead).

Sorry if you think it's in the wrong place. Posted in the ICE section as it's to do with the radio, with a Ducato tag as it's a Ducato.
