Different types of dab…… they introduced dab+ to enable more channels. The l322 unit only supports dab, hence why people change the dab module to the latter version. You can stream via Bluetooth and you phone, but still need data and an app. Swapping the dab module to dab+ is simple and probably £120 all in. It has its quirks turning on and off, but you can get alot more chanels, and everything else works as it should

Many thanks, I'll look into that idea.

Hi Jonny,
Do you need to do this every time you want to select DAB+ or just after the first time of installing?
Thanks,

Didn’t think you could add DAB+ to l322

You can - with an adapter cable. The only thing you need to do to get it to function is to select DAB on the head unit, switch the display off then on and then turn the volume knob. I did it on my old L320 and it worked fine and lots of other L320 owners have done the same.

From my experience every time you go back to dab +…..

Something to do with the software compatibility, but totally worth it imo

Thanks Jim,

I have ordered a DAB+ module and the Jaguar plug, so hopefully it will all work and I will be able to listen to DAB stations again!

Thanks all

The most fiddly bit is bolting the new module back in. I ordered a jag plug with tails, then cut the old plug off with 50mm tail and crimped the new one on. Relatively simple to revert back if ever needed. Best mod ever for a l322

Before I disconnect anything, do I need to disconnect the battery or take any other precautions, so that I don't blow anything up??
Thanks
James

No need to disconnect battery…. They’ll be fuse protection. Make sure the ignition is off and just cut the wires one at a time, and keep away from metal, the red positive especially worse case you’ll blow a fuse

Did you get sorted James ? You can actually select DAB+ by selecting it from the head unit and then just using the volume button either way to engage it. Doesn't show the station list on the head unit though - you need to do the on/off trick first, or alternatively just leave it in DAB+ all the time.

Either way, it's a fiddly inconvenience compared to having DAB+

Thanks,
I did get it installed, only losing a few bits of skin from the knuckles and back of my right hand! It is located right down in the well at the rear.
All went well and I now get all of the stations I want, but it is strange to have to turn the unit off/on and then change the volume to get it working. I will take a look at your suggestion.
One thing I have noticed, is that the radio now stays on after I turn the car off/close the door and only goes off after a few of seconds locking the car??

Yep - everything you've said is par for the course !

The DAB sometimes stays on, sometimes goes off, but if you lock the car it goes off. Call it a handy reminder to lock it.

As for why you have to do the knob twiddling to engage the DAB+ - it's because the L322 system wasn't designed for a DAB+ so it's just fortunate it works as well as it does.
