    I recently swapped my Concert head unit for a similar unit from a late model (2011 or 2012) which had DAB.
    The unit works well now that have connected it to a DAB aerial, but I seem unable to receive text.
    Does anyone else with such a unit manage to receive text?

    This may seem a daft question, but was the radio designed to receive radio text? I've had the DAB radio in my car since I got it new in 2011..and can't say I've ever seen radio text on there before (and I play with all the settings/functions)...

    Radio text is an odd one. Whilst in France last year in my C6 A6, I noticed that the top line on the DIS that in the UK only showed station info was scrolling - and this was FM radio not DAB. My new A4 doesn't scroll any DAB text either (in UK, not tried abroad but I think "their" DAB is different to "ours" anyway)

    To get to the text display (on mine, anyhow) you have to press the "tuning" button, then turn the dial to the bottom (6 o'clock) selection - I think it's called info.
    When it's gone it's gone

    Thanks chaps. In fact, when I tried it this morning, it worked. May just not have been any available yesterday!
    As sad above, it is a case of pressing the tuning button and then turning the dial to "text".
