DAB radio connected to 166 Becker radio?

Does anybody know if it's possible to connect an aftermarket DAB radio (that is, just a "black box", such as described here) to the Becker radio in the 166 ICS?

Re: DAB radio connected to 166 Becker radio?

It is I have a Revo unit which is connected via a switch so that I can still use the cd changer only problem is you have to remember to turn on the unit before swapping to cd mode on the ics otherwise it picks up engine noise you can't get rid of for some reason with out restarting it all alternatively you could use an fm transmiter box eother connected direct to the ics or under the hand brake where the cables are joined although my mp3 cd changer is connected through this so I didn't want too many connections of the same type & end up with no normal radio reception

Ok, thanks for the tip. Do you have a link to the Revo unit you're using?

car revo dab on eBay, also, Other In-Car Ents GPS, In-Car Entertainment GPS, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 08-Mar-08 13:30:33 GMT) a better picture of the unit
REVO DAB IN CAR on eBay, also, Other In-Car Ents GPS, In-Car Entertainment GPS, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 06-Mar-08 13:46:20 GMT)
but its missing the aerial the unit matches the interior of the car quite well I think though there is an accoustic solutions one on ebay which comes up in a search for dab revo which I have heard is a better unit
