Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

With DAB-Z you can enjoy listening to Digital Radio DAB/DAB+ on your Android head unit in your car. You just need a USB DAB/DAB+ adapter, which you plug into your device. The app also works with mobile phones and tablets that have "USB host" capabilities. Connect the DAB/DAB+ receiver via a USB-OTG adapter to it and start the app. *** The app does NOT SUPPORT SDR USB adapters *** Please use an antenna for the DAB/DAB+ adapter that is suitable for receiving DAB/DAB+ signals. After you initially have scanned for stations you can: * Easily select station from the list, even using your steering wheel buttons in the car * Receive text messages ("Dynamic Label Segment") containing the current title and artist, if supplied by the station via broadcast * Receive pictures ("SlideShow") containing artwork and station logo. * View details about the station (e.g. ensemble name, service id, etc.) * Built-in station logos, downloadable station logos * Add your own station logos * wide range of settings for layout and behavior of the app ... and a lot more ...
