Hi All.
After my Hyundai dealer declined to fit a DAB tuner I went to a local fitter to have the job done today.
The kit I chose was as follows
Kinetic Digitizor hideaway DAB tuner

http://www.dabonwheels.co.uk/Kinetic_DEGA-4001_glass_mount_DAB_car_aerial.htmlAerial Adapters as the Hyundai aerial is not a standard DIN or ISO type.
http://www.dabonwheels.co.uk/MediaDAB_Hyundai-Kia_FM-AM_aerial_adaptor_cables.htmlAccess to the Factory head unit was fairly straight forward, the 2 silver trims around the air vents needed removing carefully as they are held on by a number of plastic clips. Once the trim is removed the screws holding the head unit in are exposed.
As you can hopefully see from the photos the unit hides away neatly in a void behind the factory head unit.
The fitter needed to make a small cut in the trim around the rear quarter light window inside the car for the aerial cable.
It took the fitter about an hour to fit initially but then he had a couple of little problems.
The first power feed he tried (not sure where from) blew a fuse.
The second power feed from one of the Cigarette lighter power sockets worked fine with one little snag.
The third feed from the live into the stereo also worked fine with the same little snag.
The snag (or snags being) that the ignition needs to be on for the DAB unit to be powered, secondly when the car restarts from Autostop the drop in current causes the DAB unit to momentarily turn off and back on again.
There does not seem to be a way around this, I assume there is some battery or system within the factory head unit to prevent the changes in power supply causing the head unit to do the same.
All in all a good result. I am a happy man having DAB in the car.
Hope some other users find this useful.
