GROM DAB in the UK

[Spriteracer]

Hi all,
1st post - just bought the car and just joined. The level of help and info here seems awesome. Have bought a 2007 Z4 coupe and will upload a photo or 2 when I have washed off the mud following the snow !

Car has Business radio with Cd and multichanger prep, but no changer. It has bluetooth hands free already.

I want to keep the original look but add a DAB tuner. It would appear that the Grom BMWSU3 and DBR-1 combination would do the trick, however the DBR-1 dongle is not listed on the Grom UK site but is listed on the US site for Europe and Australia. I have asked Grom directly about this but no response yet.

Does anyone have experience of this combination in the uk and if so, how good is it ? Does it work with the steering wheel controls ? The Grom site is a bit vague on this.

Alternatively are there any other options short of changing the radio completely which I may do if there is nothing else. (I know about the Highway type but don't really want a visible add-on)

Thanks for any advice.

A bit of further info. Now heard back from Grom in the UK - very helpful. However they say the DAB dongle is no longer available in the UK as they are doing a new one - available 3rd quarter this year - ish. They also say don't use the US version as it doesn't work very well in the uk.

Save yourself some cash, and use the app which accompanies the Grom. Its has stations all over the internet, uses phone data, but that pennies these days, and doesn't use that much

Thanks - I'll look into it.
