I have a Pumpkin Dual DIN Android 8.0 head unit installed to a vehicle, along with a powered roof-mounted DAB+ antenna. Would a generic DAB+ tuner work with this head unit or do I need the maker's own? If a generic DAB+ tuner would work, can anyone recommend on with which they have had a good experience?
 
Don’t forget that for a dab tuner you need dab software for android as well.

I had the pumpkin tuner, and the software is pretty shit. And that is being kind ;)

I ripped it all out again, just not worth the hassle.
 
Thanks. I'll download the tuner software and check it out before spending on a tuner.
 
I suggest the free app DAB-Z from Play store. It is constantly updated and has a wide range of compatibility with USB DAB dongles (as long as they are not SDR). It's not perfect but doesn't hurt to try it. Unfortunately if you don't have a supported DAB tuner hooked up with your headunit, the app won't run and it will notify you.
