"description": "Dension DBU3GEN\nASK A QUESTION ABOUT THIS PRODUCT\nWould you like to upgrade your radio to play Digital DAB Radio stations?\nThe revolutionary Dension DAB+U is a simple solution for getting DAB radio while not having cheap screens and wires ruining your car. Simply connects to an USB port in your car that allows you to play music. The DAB+U will give you the capability of listening to high quality digital radio without needing to change the radio at a fraction of the cost.\nThe Dension DAB+U will work in perfect harmony with your radio as it will be acting like music files, meaning if you can change the track list via steering wheel controls when using a memory stick or iPod via the USB port, you will be able to change the radio station the same way.\nFor a demonstration of how it will work and act, check opt this customers review of the DAB+U below\nThe DAB, DAB+, and DMB-R stations appear on the device as virtual mp3 files, thus the reason for easy operation and wide compatibility. Since the buffer size may be different in each playback device (head unit) the DAB+U has an 'Automatic Buffer Size Assessment'(ABSA) function.\nThere is no need for special programing tools or hidden menus because the functions – such as 'Scan' and 'About' – are also shown as virtual mp3 files. All you have to do is press 'Play'.\nFeatures\nConnects to a USB port (capable of playing music) Please refer to this compatibility catalogue to check compatibility or download the mobile phone app \"Dension Compatibility Guide\" for more upto date compatibility.\n'Automatic Buffer Size Assessment' (ABSA)\nPowered from USB\nHome use possible\n'Station following' support*\nDAB, DAB+ and DMB-R standards are supported\nNon-amplified antennas and active antennas are both supported\nEasy browsing\nUpgradable firmware via USB\nSMB connector\nPackage Contents\nDevice (DAB+U module)\nUSB A-A (Male to Male) connector\n2x 3M adhesive tape\n2x zip tie\nCable grommet\nQuick Start Guide\nOptional Accessories\nDAB antenna (aerial) (DAB1ANT)\npassive or active (recommended) with external power feed (EXT2CP2)\nUSB extension cable\nThe DAB, DAB+, and DMB-R stations appear on the device as virtual mp3 files, thus the reason for easy operation and wide compatibility. Since the buffer size may be different in each playback device (head unit) the DAB+U has an 'Automatic Buffer Size Assessment'(ABSA) function.\nWhat is ABSA?\nThe Dension DAB+U device is equipped with an ‘Automatic Buffer Size Assessment’ (ABSA) function. Since the buffer size may be different in each playback device (head unit) the Dension DAB+U device detects the buffering time needed by the playback device to function correctly. Depending upon the playback device (head unit) the buffer time may vary between 15-40 seconds. So it is not possible to have ‘radio like’ station changing with the Dension DAB+U, but we designed the product to be the most versatile possible.\nNote\nDue to the 'Automatic Buffer Size Assessment' (ABSA) restriction, a buffer must be built between 15-40 seconds after a channel change. During this time no radio playback is possible. With this module, no immediate switch between two channels is possible.",
