So still need help

I have stripped out the audio module and checked it for any obvious signs such as broken or loose wires etc but none were found.

It definitely has the DAB wiring and the module is DAB also (Part number 31346184)
To repeat the issue is when I select am or fm from the menu it selects them fine but when I press OK on DAB 1 or DAB 2 nothing happens, it just stays on whatever bandwidth it was on at the time.

The only other bit of information I can add is that there was a new battery fitted to the car recently, not sure if that would have any bearing on the matter.

I have looked at replacement modules but hate to spend between £60 and £150 for one only to find that was not the issue.

Any help would be most welcome.
The DAB unit is in a white metal cradle in the centre behind the rear seat backrest under the wooden floor panel , if you have one , look there first .
It is listed in your cars build sheet which any dealer can look up and print out in 5 minutes flat .

One of the best in the country is Keith Price Garages , ask for Neil the parts manager .
