DAB Car Stereos
DAB car stereos and car radios for clear digital radio, from retro-look Bluetooth radios to large touchscreen Apple CarPlay and Android Auto head units.
Every stereo here has a built-in DAB tuner and FM radio. Choose a single DIN or double DIN model, or a retro car radio for a classic dash. You will usually need a DAB aerial or an aerial splitter too, see our aerials. Browse all car stereos, or have yours fitted at our Nottingham workshop.
DAB Car Stereos FAQs
Q: Do I need a DAB aerial for a DAB car stereo?
A: Usually, yes. Most factory car aerials only receive FM, so a DAB stereo needs a DAB aerial or a splitter that adds DAB to your existing aerial. We can recommend the right one for your car.
Q: Can a DAB car radio still play FM?
A: Yes. Every DAB stereo we sell also has an FM tuner, so you keep stations that are only on FM.
Q: Should I choose DAB or DAB+?
A: In the UK, DAB+ stations are growing, so a DAB+ compatible stereo is the safer choice. Current stereos from Pioneer, Kenwood, Alpine and Blaupunkt receive both.
Q: Will a DAB stereo fit my car?
A: Most cars can take one with the right fascia, wiring harness and steering wheel control adapter. Tell us your make, model and year and we will confirm the parts.
Q: Can CEN fit my DAB car stereo?
A: Yes. Our Beeston, Nottingham workshop supplies and fits DAB stereos, including the aerial, fascia and steering wheel controls.
