Please note that this product has reached end of life and in2digi no longer supplies this item. We now recommend the D-MB-2 for new installs on NTG2.5/NTG3/NTG4/NTG4-W212/NTG4.5 vehicles.

The D-MB-1 is a DAB and DAB+ system for Mercedes Benz vehicles. It supports the NTG1, NTG2 platforms where it emulates the CD changer, so the CD-changer must be bypassed or disconnected. For NTG2.5 cars and later it behaves like the factory option tuner would except it supports DAB+ as-well.

The D-MB-1 should be used for NTG1 and NTG2 vehicles, emulating the CD Changer.

Features:
DAB and DAB+ Band III Support
Digital “all the way” from transmitter to amplifier. (no internal analogue connection)
DLS Support where head unit supports it
5V Phantom Fed antenna
Emulates CD changer to show station names and broadcast text (NTG1/NTG2)
