Default DAB radio installation

I have a Blaupunkt Woodstock 52 head & with a FM/DAB arial from my old car. I'm not too sure about if I can install this on the S2k, even after reading the installation threads. My two questions are can I replace the arial with this one and will the Honda remote setup work with Blaupunkt.

Or do I sell it, forget about DAB (& Radio 6) and get an Alpine?

Dunno, my Alpine is "DAB Ready" whatever that supposed to mean, I think an extra ickle unit can be bought which goes somewhere and essentially "converts" the 7893 to DAB

Anyone got any experience of this?

Dab ready means it has the interface ready for controling the DAB receiver (the extra box) which will probably plug into your audio in. Usually around

Not sure about the arial, ariel, areal (bu$$er it lets call it an antenna ) but the Honda remote setup will need some form of convertor. They seem to work by learning infra-red codes from the head-units original remote.

If the Blaupunkt doesn't have such a thing then I think you're stuck

not a bad price that, but still too much for me (at the moment) - would prefer something around the price of the Clarion DAB tuner which is
