This cracked me up! 😂😂

Hi,

You are wrong informed.

A DAB+ option will be available from April 2010 for BS4 and BC2.

Upgrade kit for existing BS4 and BC2 will also come.

Melora is correct - the is going to be a DAB+ (Update)  Module -

Australian and UK  current owners of - BC2 with  DAB Radio and BC4  with DAB Radio, can look forward to an upgrade module to the ( DAB+) system for there current Beocentre's. B & O do have  a plan to produce the update DAB+ module to suit both the BC2 and BC4, sometime in the 3rd Qtr. I have had this confirmed today by one of the Tech support team in Sydney. So 'Elephant' - ' david coyne' - '355f' -  'moxxey' and myself - GOLFGEAR are going to be very happy with B & O's decision to produce this upgrade module.

This is fantastic news for me and all the others mentioned by GOLFGEAR

Thank you for bringing this to our attention 

I am REALLY impressed with the "new" B&O that seems to be emerging !

Hi All

That is great news GolfGear, thanks for letting us know. I had just started to listen to DAB when it disappeared due to the change in DAB format.

When is the DAB+ module for existing BC2 owners due out in Australia? Is there any sense of what it will cost? Presumably it will cost my first born child or puppy??

Best Wishes

Surely DAB+ can be fitted to a Beosound 4 without the DAB module fitted? *crosses fingers*

Hi Dave. It is possible. Not official from B&O, but it can be done in two ways.

Either you purchase a new connector board for your BS4 (In the FM only version there is no DAB connector), or you purchase the two missing connectors by your local radioshack and solder them in the board yourself.

Rest is just fitting the B&O DAB kit.

By the way, if anyone suffers from bad reception. Try connecting an active DVB-T antenna. Both BS4 and BC2 is capable of supplying power to an active antenna over the antenna cable. Gives good reception and neat installation because no external 5V adapter is needed. Remember to place the DVB-T antenna in vertical position. These antennas are typical slim, giving good opportunity to put it behind furnitures etc.

Hi elephant.

Yes - it seems that the new management is more focused.
