DAB+ uses the AAC+ audio codec, which allows for greater compression without loss of audio quality and is comparable with CD audio quality. It uses a more efficient coding system to transmit digital data resulting in more stations being able to broadcast on the same frequency and allows for the delivery real time data services such as such as the station name and logo, presenter, song title and album artwork.We might upgrade our phone every couple of years to keep up with the latest technology, but most of us won’t renew our cars quite as often.

We'd go as far as saying Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are must-have features on a new car, but now numerous big-name aftermarket audio firms provide compatible devices of some description.

This model also offers USB Mirroring for Android phones enabling the whole phone handsets screen to be replicated on the 6.8” screen – ideal for entertainment from games to movies in your dashboard.a>
