So a quick experiment - hopefully those more technically knowledgeable than me in these matters can comment on whether it demonstates/proves anything?
I placed a separate DAB radio in a position approximate to the known location of the fitted DAB unit and antenna:
Tuned it to a reasonable station:
And closed the rear doors:
Sound was perfect - and that's with the small antenna inside the steel cage/box.
To rule out the size of the radio unit and whatever it's internals were being so much better than Ineos could get given packaging constraints, I tried a small unit with no visible antenna:
There was a full list of stations available and a random selection of them played perfectly:
At the same time the Ineos DAB will not find, tune to or play any reasonable list of stations.
The DAB radio fitted in my vehicle is currently not fit for purpose - whether that's software, hardware, antenna placement, the installation in my vehicle or something else, it is up to Ineos to sort.
