Stepping up to the XLS Series brings front parking sensors, 16-inch alloy wheels, front fog-lights, carpeted floors and front floor mats. New to the XLS is the option of the Sync 3 Pack, which adds an 8.0-inch colour touchscreen with satellite navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, DAB+ digital radio.

The new radio with a retro look is a 4G Android device, and can play FM, AM, DAB and internet radio.

New figures reveal that, for the first time, more people are tuning into DAB and listening online than sitting in front of the wireless. The radio industry milestone saw digital listening reaching a new record share of 50.9 per cent, up from 47.2 per cent just one year ago.

Slovenia’s Broadcasting Council is targeting 2 February 2022 as the date for the country’s digital radio switchover. The Council proposes the 2022 date, which it said coincides with the timing of other proposed transitions within the framework of the updated legislation.

Standard inclusions are those iconic Alpina 20-inch alloys, Nappa leather interior, four-zone climate control, heated and ventialled electric seats, 10.25-inch iDrive infotainment system with DAB+ radio and sat nav, Harmon/Kardon sound system, heads-up display and a sunroof.

The National Broadcasting Council of Slovenia (SRDF) has decided to switch from VHF to DAB + in Ljubljana, with the most important radio stations to stop their FM broadcasting on 22 February 2022 and distribute their programs exclusively via DAB+.

On 19 June, the City of Lille will receive radio broadcasting in DAB+ with a launch day in the presence of politicians, major retailers and radio stations, following Strasbourg and Lyon.

That's on top of the standard C4 Cactus's 7.0-inch touchscreen navigation system, rear-view camera with rear parking sensors, DAB+ digital radio, six-speaker audio system with Arkamys digital amplifier, automatic headlights and wipers, climate control, Bluetooth, USB inpit, and a bi-colour leather steering wheel with chrome inserts and controls.

Broadcasters in the Asia Pacific have recognised that they need to move to the greener, more spectrum efficient broadcast platform of digital radio. We’re excited that countries such as Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia are looking to DAB+.

The 108 has also received a technology boost, with a seven-inch colour touchscreen that provides smartphone connectivity via Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Mirror Screen, which enables you to use smartphone apps through the car's control system. The system also includes DAB radio, USB and auxiliary inputs and is standard on the Active model and above.
