Can anyone recommend a good quality DAB/FM RDS radio/CD headend unit that will work with the S's remote volume/mute/channel controls?
Thanks,
Trev.

I use a Blaupunkt Woodstock DAB 54 which matches your requirements exactly
No doubt there will be other alternatives too - quite a few people have Alpine units so I'm sure they'll be along shortly...

Do you find that the DAB ok in the car? - I've always steered clear because I thought that the signal might pop in and out more than usual FM/AM signals. I've got no point of reference though because I don't know anyone with one!

Google DAB coverage and you should be able find out what it's like in your area.

The choice of music out there on DAB is excellent, and for that reason I put up with a few pockets here and there. Generally the signal is good, although I noticed there wasn't any on Arran this weekend
Shiskine: I'm having problems with my Woodstock at the moment - mp3s on a memory card on MIX MMC seems to play the first second of one track and then skip to another - almost as if it's picking two songs at random each time (if that makes sense). Do you get this?

Filesystem on the cards is sorted now (thankfully!). Was a bit of an ordeal getting it to work properly but I think that's a Mac issue than anything (yes, it can happen occasionally!).
Not sure what this is all about really, but I've noticed if I use my iPod with the Woodstock that the same thing will happen too.
Basically the song gets to the end of the track so the Woodstock picks another track, plays it for a beat or two and then picks another track again! Wierd.
Perhaps I'll give Blaupunkt a call and see what they say.
