DAB help

looking for help with DAB activation on MCA head unit. I have fully upto date MCA in my 09 plate mondeo 2.2 TXS estate, everything currently working I clouding rear camera. However DAB isn't showing g on head unit or converse plus. DAB control module I stalled with connection look but cannot activate in elm co fig, stereo se lectionary is not highlighted so I cannot select high stereo with DAB, cd changer etc.

Any help greatly appreciated .

Thanks Bren

yes MCA head unit, I fitted it also retro fitted rear camera . Everything works , I have made adaptor loom and fitted the DAB control module. Just cannot get it recognised in config. So annoying as convers plus is modded now, all modules updated ?

You need to activate DAB in config as its not already done on my 2009 car. You look on page 4 pick drop down for head unit type.

Mine is currently high level Nav + cd changer.

It needs to be high level Nav +cd changer + DAB

I shown in video tutorial my issue is the drop down box isn't highlighted so a cannot select.

I'm wondering if it's a dead DAB control module ?

Be just my luck lol thanks for thecreply

Thanks for reply as above deffo MCA bit of a potch to fit lol changed arm rest console and cup holder trims etc as different to my early mk4.

Looks nice now finished in sparkle silver as on alloys looks nice in sun and when orange ambient light hits metallic.

Been fitting powerflex trailing bushes today . Did rear door ford projector lights to match fronts and also stop and tail in bumper reflectors. Last off fitted DRL in mirrors which change to orange led sweep when indicators are used

Oh and new red stitch gaiters on gear knob and handbrake

what year was your mobdeo ?

2009 TXS estate 2.2, she got dvd, rear screens, 2 sets headphones and remote ( never used lol), adaptive cruise etc fully loaded but no sunroof ( my choice , don't use them no need with cruise plus they flood cabin when drain pipe blocks at elbow joint lol.)

Sea grey nice when clean lol

interesting, thanks for reply. Yes I purchased extension loom and made necessary connections by soldering and heat shrinking everything. Information not easy to find but on thread I saw they mentioned the activate ?

If I connect offline with elm and go to page 4 I can access head unit selection but when I connect it won't make haedunit selection available.

Going to try and get another DAB module ?

These things are sent to try us lol, I'll get there.

It can't be any harder than the digital climate control conversion I did on my MGZS lol. I did this 12 years ago, no help as not previously done. Managed to aquire parts and full loom to get wiring needed. Did job in one day, dash out 😆

What we're issues with can bus ? I'm willing to look into everything . It's so annoying not having 1 thing not running lol but that's me. When I see cars pass with a bulb out it drives me nuts lol, I. Like how can you drive like that ? Don't you check things lol

lol sorry didn't know you'd done it that long ago. I have to find the diagram I used, be much easier if I new somebody with a face-lift that has DAB, could plug my module in and if it didn't work then it would rule out wiring lol. Thanks for reply Bren.

thanks, really appreciate this will update on forum when I get chance to try this. Had a disc shatter on me today while cutting off seized bolt. Finishing off my powerflexbushes, fingers in a state lol. Thanks again sorry I don't know your name, regards Bren
