Me too. I am limited to all the BBC stations and some local like Capital and Heart but I wish I had a DAB choice of stations via the Appradio, it's really poor.Jon said:
Been contemplating getting rid of it and getting a full DAB stereo. Any help to improve the amount of stations one could pick up would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Torque GT change the headunit for me before I picked the car up. It's a UK Clarion.
It does pick up both Radio 1 and 2, but as soon as you drive anywhere, the signal starts to break up. The stereo has AF on.
I've read on here about a booster in the passenger footwell, not getting power once you change the headunit. But I can't find one in my Teg.
I have been toying with the idea of going DAB. But I can't find a good, tidy looking ariel.

I have exactly the same issue and never got to the bottom of it. I stream everything to my appradio using screen mirroring but that comes with its own issues. Such as BBC screwing up their app constantly despite having millions of pounds from the uk license.
My guess is the aerial is just pants unless anyone can confirm they can get all the BBC channels and the locals and keep them whilst driving.

The only way you can get an Android phone to work with the Appradio is by rooting it, well that's the process with my Nexus 4 anyway.
Can anyone else confirm if it's the same with other Android phones? The phone will connect fine without being rooted so will mirror your phone on the Appradio screen however you don't get any touchscreen functionality without having a rooted phone, really bloody annoying.
After rooting N4 I unrooted it and put it back to normal as Barclays online banking doesn't work on a rooted phone and I use that app everyday. I can still listen to music through the phone connected via the stereo when I turn on the the 7 digital app, but it would be better and easier if I could do it all touchscreen on the stereo itself instead of having to do it through the phone. And to cap it all off the support network from Pioneer is non-existent.
How much are DAB stereos?
