DAB+ in France

[mcanderson]

We are in the throws of buying a new to us boat and I will be changing the 2008 stereo. I will fit a new stereo with Bluetooth as we like to stream our music when not listening to the radio. A few of the stereos I have been looking come with DAB+, however these are a bit more expensive and I don't know if it's worth it.

Anyone on the Coté D'Azur got a DAB+ radio and think it's worth the extra?

We mainly listen to Riviera Radio, but do dabble with some of the other local stations.

Dab+ is fine if you want to listen to local stations; I stream the BBC using iPlayer, really easy especially with the free.fr mifi solution.

Jimmy,

Bluetooth is much more important that DAB+, but if is wasn't too good then I wouldn't worry about it. We had a Orange wifi dongle, but since roaming has been dropped in Europe then I just use my iPhone as a hotspot.

In VF or still in Corsica?

Neither; currently sitting on the ba2625 waiting to push back. Came back from Corsica on Thursday morning; overnighted in VF, then back to PV last night (just in time for dinner at Le Vauban). Garoupe today for a swim and lunch, and then hot-foot to the airport. It's been a great week.
