Hi All,
First post so please be gentle😁

I have an issue with the DAB radio in my new ST, since I got it in October

“You get DAB stations with no issues when the car is stationary (just radio switched on).
When you start the car (or even just put the ignition on) it kills the DAB and comes up “DAB stations not available”
When you turn the car off the DAB stations are back available working again

So far the dealer has had eight days and counting to try and sort it

Anyone had something similar

Thanks in advance

Hasn't got an aftermarket dash cam (or rear cam) fitted by any chance? (I've know DAB screw up due to electrical noise from dashcam wiring)

Winter pack, Massage seats, B&O audio, Fixed LED headlights - all standard AFAIK. Accessories fitted: "AAWireless" Android Auto, rubber floor and megabox mats.

There is a dealer fitted reversing camera fitted before I got the car. I would assume (maybe wrongly) that everything would have been checked prior to delivery.
I will get them to check it when they take it in yet again

Thanks for the input, much appreciated

Low and behold after 11 days of working on my car, they have confirmed that the camera is interfering with the DAB. Just like I told them when it first went in !!!
They are now looking at what they can do about it !!!!!
Will keep you posted on progress
