Default DAB Radio Searching Problem

Hi.
This is my first post. I have a lovely 2010 XK Portfolio in the UK. I hunted out the perfect spec to include DAB which must have been an option back then. Frustratingly, the DAB has stopped working and just continually searches (with a grey screen) then flicks to FM. FM is also now crackly. Has anyone had this problem, and if so how was it fixed. I'm not

great with fixing stuff and tend to create more problems after starting... A heads up would be good to avoid me getting totally ripped off by a main dealer.

Hi...Just enquiring whether you got this fixed. I've a similar problem, Dab cuts about after around 2 seconds....though it will work if I switch it on and not the ignition.

Ricard hasn't been on for seven months, and only posted twice. You will probably never hear from him. Evar.

Hi Aldr. No I never got to the bottom it. I use a Bovee thing that allows me to use my Iphone11 for spotify etc. Its a bit of a phaff and randomly doesn't always connect to the car and I have to restart the ignition while the music is playing on the phone. But after that it works. I have downloaded apps to my phone for all the DAB music stations and play through my phone instead. The list of channels the car picked up before was pretty useless anyway so actually, this is better.
