If it's one of these things that transmit to your car's FM radio what functions have you now lost?

No - DAB-receiving head unit.

Blaupunkt woodstock from memory.

only real problem is that I have more than three cars, so I don't always get to listen.

The one in the Lotus is good, but at the moment it's still not on the road, so I can't test it in motion.

When I had the first DAB in the Omega it was great - especially as the antenna was on the roof. (according to my EMC expert, having a flat steel "ground-plane" to sit the antenna on gives the best reception)

The one in the Discovery is best - as it's got an OE sub-woofer system and amps.

Also fitted to the Bentley, but the speakers aren't great, so the sound is a bit limited. No background noise helps, tho.

I have a Sony DAB (yes TB "Sony") head unit which is very good. The only down side is that Kerrang don't seem to have a local transmitter where i live & it's hit & miss.
If i wanted to listen to Punjabi or Sabra (or what ever the crap's called) & a few other crap stations that have sprung up near me i'd be happy ::) >:( >:(
