Cupra 290 2019 missing DAB

[Stretch]

Hi all,

I've got a 2019 Cupra 290 that I've had for a couple of years. I've never had DAB available in the radio for some reason and also no navigation database due to no SD card. I've recently bought an SD card off eBay and found that the card won't work, still trying to work that one out.

When doing all this I've found out that the MIB unit I have is 5F0035877, which I believe is correct to the age of car and head unit model I have, and have found that this should have DAB enabled along with maps.

As mentioned, I've never had DAB available and don't have a clear understanding of why, does anyone have any idea of why this might be? Is it a radio/head unit software related issue?

Many thanks.

does the unit have the dab button available but no reception? If so, the antenna is in the rear glass

The SD card will need an older overall.nds file placing on it

Thanks for the response. No in the radio screen there isn't even the option normally seen in the top corner to switch from FM to DAB. I've previously had the boot trim off and from what I remember all the expected modules were there so would expect the physical components are present.

In that case the DAB is disabled via coding for some reason

We can enable it for you

Thanks for the info. I wonder why/how it has been disabled, as far as I'm aware there haven't been any changes that would have had it removed.

I'm not too far so will reach out if I'm over your way at any point.
