Default Retrofit dab tuner

Hi there,

I retrofitted a factory dab tuner to my 2006 S8 back in 2012. I used a T cable for the optical loop, a dual power lead from nearby device and a separate aerial lead for signal. When all connected, dab showed up in the source list with no need for any vcds coding. Hope that helps.

Richard
