I asked an auto-electrician about getting an aftermarket DAB stereo installed and he said it was a right ballache, requires an extra aerial to be fitted and isn't all that great apparently. Make of that what you will, but I didn't bother with it in the end.
If you intend to wirelessly listen to music/use it to make calls etc it's worth considering whether the head unit can handle APTX, the 'lossless' bluetooth audio codec that's supposed to be quite a step up from A2DP. There are a fair few phones that can do it but a lot that can't, so might not be relevant for you yet (or ever), guess it depends how long you want to keep the car and the phone that you use.

Can we do car stereos here? I have a 2008 VW polo on which I desperately want to upgrade the stereo to DAB with some sort of iphone interface. The amp/speakers sound fine it's just the front end I need upgrated.
I'm taking the car in for service and to have a few electrical niggles fixed in a couple of weeks so makes sense to get it all fitted at the same time. Any recommendations?
