i bought a digital aerial only to find there is no usb socket in the back of the android radio (just the remote aux usb for a music flash drive), so if anyone has the type that i assume is a plug-in type that may not be suitable for your radio then e could swap?

Hi Dave, unscrew the connector from the USB stick.  If your existing head unit has DAB capability it should have the male version of this connector on the back - this is how most DAB antennas come.  Probably not a waste TBH.

Okey dokey pipsyp, when the other half gets back with ''her'' Vellfire I will take a gander., thanks for that.

Long time see... it turns out the the vellfire we paid  11k for has a 50 quid wind up radio. No DAB so will be looking for something we can sing along to 😁
