HI All,

I'm missing some radio amplifier modules on both sides of my car, and I'm at a loss to what's actually missing. I thought the best way would be to post 2 images of what's there and what isn't in the hope someone can either post 2 pictures of a complete set, or identify what's missing.

The car is a 2010 face-lifted 3.8 Vogue fitted with the Harmon Kardon audio system.

Everything else works i.e. TV, Phone and Sat Nav, but no DAB.

The same 6 CD's are now driving me mad, so anything you can do to point me in the right direction is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

M

for a start, the DAB is rubbish.. yes you do get a few channels but its the old standard, a lot of stations are either very weak or missing, DAB+ is not supported by l322

Trust me, I'd be happy with that over the same 6 CD's that keep playing over and over.

i use a bluetooth/FM transmitter so i can stream from my phone
dab doesnt work over any distance, you have to keep scanning and retuning.. or gets blocked when you go past a tree.. or a bird

Kermit, your star, it would be greatly appreciated as I've got a fighting chance of getting something ordered for the weekend (if I can figure out what's missing).

Many thanks Kermit, that’s helped me out massively. Hopefully, once I’ve replaced those items I’ll at least have white noise to listen to.

A strange twist of events. Despite 2 modules missing, I reconnected 2 cables that were disconnected from the remaining units and now I have DAB, but no FM. I’m guessing it’s the FM units that have been removed. Either way that’ll do for the minute!
