Name me a good new radio for tractor

[Longneck]

Any recommendations for good DAB antenna?

Have had all sorts here in all different head units but some I just can’t get a reliable signal.

Streaming music uses very little data compared to video . I listen to local radio on my laptop in france , uses about 3 gb a week

Unlimited data plans are here now not a problem

Is there a good bluetooth radio that will hold is memory for stations when it isolated from the vehicle battery for a long time, maybe several weeks

Have a look on this site, I've bought my aerials from them...https://www.dabonwheels.co.uk/product-category/dab-car-aerials/


I've been on both my JDs this morning and one has an Alpine the other has a Blaupunkt. The Blaupunkt radio is miles better and is easier to use and gets more stations. I've got a Pioneer in my Defender and it is useless. There is only one choice and it is Blue spot!

I've got 2 Kenwood units like in the picture they're dab and come with an antenna which there's no point even connecting in West wales where I'm from. But they are fantastic units which also come with separate mics for Bluetooth calls. You can tweet mic gain and noise cancelling and people I call reckon the quality of the call is second to none. They also work great with Spotify and Digital radio apps on my phone.

Not sure about recommending one but this one has been nothing but trouble, have to disconnect from battery every now and then as it freezes, more often than not it get stuck on a station name in dab, it changes the station but the names the same, very annoying!

I got one of these for the tractor and I can confirm it's shite. It forgets the stations if you use the isolator, the bluetooth is hopeless because it doesn't have a separate mic it also forgets the phone and ipad . It looks like it has good specs and it was quite cheap but it would be best to avoid. I would recommend getting something that you connect 2 bluetooth devices to.

We have a Blaupunkt Stockholm, like it a lot. It just has a aerial that sticks on the window and it sometimes loses DAB signal.
In the old tractor we had a sonichi adaptor with a mag mount proper aerial, never lost its signal.

Thought that Blaupunkt made some good radios back then, what about the new ones ?

I have a blaupunkt, not a Bluetooth one, but I’ve no complaints at all. I would recommend ?

The original Sony Xplodes were great but think they've gone backwards since then. I have Pioneer and JVC both good normally get them when Halfords have a sale.

Had one in the Valtra for about a month and half now, very pleased with it. So good he put one in the Ford when its packed up just before Christmas there... telehandler and loader tractor radios are knackered too so guess what he is buying

a cost of £11.29p is that right ?

This came with great reviews but I wish I’d left the old unit in, that’s now in the combine.

Beware that those chinese ones may not come with the right plugs, kind of a pain.

Think I will go with a Blaupunkt. Got good history with them

Simple plug in and go.

Standard plug fitting on the rear of the unit and come with a short wiring harness... as per all radios

"Don't post to the Highlands of Scotland" so I searched further and found one even cheaper than did -- with an impressive number already sold!
