No but you can get replacement big-brand head units for only a few dollars more if that suits!? Generic branded units sell for less than $100 too and are apparently not too bad. Alternatively I have seen separate tuners like this that connect to your car systems AUX in for those unlucky enough to have a fully integrated entertainment system. Just search eBay.
I dont think I can change the manufacturer's headunit becuase of the bluetooth/audio controls to the steering wheel. I'm trying to find a alternative solution to get DAB in the car.
I'll have a squizz on ebay.
Thanks Mate.
Nah, Steering Wheel controls are easy! I just replaced the head units in both our cars with a Double-DIN Pioneer DAB unit when they were on sale at JB. Cost about $30 to get the new fascias to make them fit the car nicely (just cosmetics) then another $30-$40 to get the adaptor cables from the UK which included the Steering Wheel adaptor!
Both units in both cars (2010 Corolla & 2010 Suzuki SX4) work absolutely perfectly!
The other alternative to replacing the entire DIN would be to use this:

Basically it is a USB stick which plugs into your car's USB, and then it displays the DAB Radio Channels as if it is a MP3 file, so you can basically still use your OEM car DIN as long as your car originally has USB.
Expensive though around $200-300, seems like they are the ONLY company which makes them, which is why its so expensive. No Competition.
@lplau:
Whoa, that thing is very cool but SO expensive! Shame really as that would/would've been perfect for so many people in so many ways if it was a tenth the price :( I never knew they existed so cheers for the link lplau!
@SteveAndBelle:
If they made it around $100 they'd sell like hotcakes.
But for $200 not really worth it, especially if a Double DIN replacement is only slightly more expensive.
$199 RRP? That seems inflated considering JB has it for $124 - https://www.jbhifi.com.au/tv-home-entertainment/cord/cord-ez…
$124 is their discounted price. Not the RRP price.
Ah but who ever sells at RRP That has never been a basis for a price except for the manufactures making it sound good. Did you folks ever sell at RRP?
lmao really. you can ask for further discount from the listed price.
Can this be used in the car? Doesn't look like it.
