I bet this has been posted before as it must be a common ask but I'm after a guide to upgrading an existing NAVI950 to add DAB+ capability.
Can someone advise the parts required (other than a U4D module and DAB antenna) and if any coding is needed for the system to recognize the new module?
Thanks in advance
U4d module is correct and aerial. Yes programming is required,
@rusty2009 can do these via post adding rear camera capability too.

Great, thanks for the info.
Yes as
@Jpbroad1970 says I can do these via the post and I fully enable all options (apart from infinity sound unless your car has that system), I also include all SPS USB updates and 2018 maps in me price.

Sounds good.
So what hardware do I need? A U4D module (I was looking at getting a used one from ebay) and what else? Where does the module fit and are any additional wiring looms/harnesses required.
I assumed a DAB antenna would be required but it looks like this may already be present in the tail gate?

You need the U4D module and a bracket, used off Ebay is fine.
The module sits up behind the headlight switch I'll try and a get pic although it's an awkward place.
In terms of wiring it depends some cars have the wiring already others don't, you can look in your footwell drivers side see image below.

You would the Dab aerial for rear window and a cable to join up as you will most likely find it's a dummy cover.

Ah OK Starting to make sense.
I've had a look and I do indeed have the multiway connector and DAB aerial in the footwell.

I've also had a look in the tailgate and found the cable from the rear window is indeed a dummy.

I've also located a 2 way connector which has a spare position.

So I need a cable to replace the dummy on the rear window which will connect to the spare position on the double connector under the roof liner?
Are there any module inbetween? I notice the FM aerial goes through a 'ZK' module.

You need the aerial which mounts on the rear window or get a windscreen mount aerial.
Do you have the loom in the car ready for the DAB+ module to plug in?
The radio will also require programming to enable DAB.
