Default Upgrading to DAB Radio - advice much appreciated

Hi
Since buying my XF, I have been irritated by the FM reception being particularly poor, which is seemingly caused by a break in the ariel in the rear screen. Attempts have been made at repairs by my local garage, to no avail.
I am therefore wondering whether to buy a used SAT NAV RADIO DAB UNIT WITH TOUCH SCREEN, to replace the (presumably) non DAB one in my car. If I also purchase the shark fin antenna from the same seller (same car), will I need anything else.
Also anyone have knowledge as to whether the unit will be a colour screen?
Thanking you all in advance x

Great question, I am looking for exactly the same thing. I have an XK (2010) and desperately want to switch to DAB that is fully integrated into the car’s system.

That is, word for word, what I was about to post. So I'm equally keen to read any replies.
