DAB to 2012 cooper with visual boost and nav

Hi Guys,

I've had a search and found nothing that answers my questions to date:

Any advice on a retro-fit DAB radio solution's? My wife is mad keen on it after a recent trip in another car.

We are in Australia and the current sort term solution looks like a portable DAB tuner: http://www.pure.com/au/product/move-...1514/#Overview

I was hoping for a solution that could retro-fit and be compatible with the in car steering wheel controls.

Mini Roadster R59 MCS JCW with JCW steering wheel, tuned and a large list of 3rd party and GP hardware fitted.

The best option might be the portable tuner and connecting through the aux connector.

The vendor of the pure just responded that the antenna must have the headphones connected to work correctly. So i'm looking for an alternative now.

I'll advice once I find something.

OK, so I am glad I waited. The Mobridge product is now out, and allegedly fully integrates into the coopers

My unit arrives tomorrow and I am working with my care audio specialists to figure out an antenna solution for our Roadster.

I'll report back how it goes.
