DAB + Radio

I have just bought a 2014 L494 HSE which I cannot find DAB+ on the radio, it has DAB 123 But cannot find +, my previous car was a L320 which did have it.
Am I being stupid but I thought a newer model would have it?
If it doesn’t is there a fix?
Thanks Michael

Your L320 had DAB+?
This was not a factory option, DAB+ was only available with a 3rd-party (yet JLR-approved) DAB tuner replacement (in2Digi). Should have removed it, since this item is a hardware very sought after.
L494s have DAB+ since MY2016 if I remember correctly, however are upgradeable to DAB+ by swapping the DAB module from a later MY to an older car and rescanning the infotainment system with a diagnostic computer to accommodate the new module. Regards etc.,

Hi
As far as I know the DAB+ on my L320 was from new, but I still have the car and considering what to do with it due to the fuel pump failure, it is being returned to my home hopefully tomorrow and I will decide whether to sell as spares or repair or to break it.

Pre fault it was an excellent car so I will have a think.

Re DAB + on my replacement car I have in fact found it but the car is back with the dealer as the TPMS is not working or the Stop/Start, I hope to have it back this week as I only bought last Friday. Michael

No DAB+ as a factory option, however in could have been a dealer-installed accessory to replace the original DAB-only hardware. JLR even does provide a chapter on how to install this 3rd-party module in their own L320 workshop manual, so I believe dealers could have been swapping the modules for future proof ones even back then.
If you happen to want to part with the module only... Let me know Smile Regards etc.,
