I've not fitted DAB in the mini yet, but I'd look at the JVC KD-DB52. I've fitted quite a few of these, quick and easy to use, will charge and control your ipod and can have the display set to match the amber interior light colour of the car.

Hi, I have a Blaupunkt DAB52 fitted. I didn't bother with a DAB antenna I just used the standard mini lead. It works okay unless reception is marginal and then the signal drops off the cliff big style. It was plug and play so no issues. The reason I didn't use a DAB specific is because it has the NAV fit and I don't want to cut holes in the body. There are stick-ons available but I'm just too lazy. I have a DAB antenna splitter box that I'm going to fit at the weekend but it's not going to make too much difference.

I've had the DAB52 a while now - 2 cars and DAB is good but I only have it for 5live sports extra but football sounds much better in crackly am for someone of my generation...
