I've had a response from Audi as well I've replied pointing out that Planet Rock switched to DAB+ in October 2023 and I've had no issues with reception until March 2025. Awaiting a further response ... Oh, Planet Rock is a Bauer Media Audio UK station. It transmits on band 11A which is the frequency band we appeared to lose, my partners Fiesta (2 years OLDER than my Q3) has not had any issues throughout all of this. Nor have any of my DAB+ radios at home.

I said I'd get the brush off - I've replied asking for my concerns to be escalated to senior management due to the number of people affected. My car is booked in for an MOT next month so might get a scan done then if it doesn't hurt the wallet too much.

Just had a response from local main stealers. £192 minimum charge to run a diagnostic. Not aware of any issues and say it is is most likely a fault with the individual vehicle.

Now raised with AudiUK. Fully expect to be fobbed off as have others.

Just joined. Exactly the same issue here, DAB SDL stopped working about three weeks ago. Reception had been sporadic since 2023. It seems the radio fitted (Bose system) isn't DAB+ compatible. Mentioned it at my last service and was told no faults recorded. Like others here I'm on software version RMC_EU_P16342. DAB+ stand alone adapter under consideration ...
