new dab radios do not work with the display, and dab takes over next year
There is No problem running the displays with DAB, but you have to buy the correct interface for it - your £4.99 leads aint gonna do it.
As far as DAB goes, it has certainly been rumoured to be taking over from FM in 2011, however, industry bods that I know are not so sure, as a new format of DAB+ or DAB2 is currently on the horizon, and guess what, its also rumoured not to be backwards compatable with current DAB. The general public and industry people all seem to be taking a hesitant step backwards from DAB at the moment, and as far as a retail point of view, at the moment we cant even give the In-Car stuff away - no one appears to want to invest at the moment.
I think there are some "Industry Insiders" here on the OOf forum, and it would be interesting to hear from any of them about any latest developments, as it would be nice to put a few rumours to bed.
