Retrofit DAB+ on Leon ST my2020

[witek_77]

Hello everyone. Unfortunately, my 2020 model year Leon ST does not have DAB factory. The car is in the excellence version with 10 "navigation plus. I would like to add DAB and I have a few questions. After changing a few options in 5F, I see FM / DAB in the radio menu, I can attach the DAB antenna, but I do not have it physically, also I have the error of no antenna. I did a little research and see that there are 2 amps. Right and left. Is that correct? Does any of you know how to go about doing this? Do I need to change the wires?

I can't edit the post above. I took pictures of my modules and screenshots from the 5F controller. Could someone who has DAB take pictures of their modules and plugs?

8. if everything works, put it back together. Buy an antenna with a cable not less than 4m.
