I have this one, it works pretty well most of the time; sound quality is certainly better on dab.

At £20 can't go far wrong, much less than roof mounted, but not the prettiest :)

I went for the roof mounted Blaupunkt option which was recommended on a thread on here, when I fitted my RCD510.
It replaces/renews the beesting. Used to be £79.00, but when I ordered mine it had gone to £129 !!!

But gotta say really superb DAB reception, ever so slightly better coverage than the factory fit DAB in our A4. FM/AM all good too if ever needed.
That said I'm sure there are possibly cheaper options.

DAB in the car is a great mod and you'll really enjoy.

I can also recommend the above, have it in mine and the only person who has noticed it is me. Reception is tops and I live in Northamptonshire if it helps.
