Has anyone done a DAB retrofit?

Looking for advice as I'm planning to pick up a used F25 in the next few months.

The UK AUC stock shows DAB fitted cars and it's something I'm looking for. There are a few cars which would be suitable but not all of them have DAB so my question is how hard is it to retrofit?

Similarly, I'd like enhanced BT but would accept the basic package - is it just audio streaming which is the main difference?

There is a retro-fit package available from BMW at a cost of about £250.

Thanks, but that's a plug-in box which uses an RF link to the head unit. I'm looking for an OEM spec retrofit with coding.

Ranger, might be worth giving these guys a call. No mention of the F-series cars, but they sound like they know what they're doing.

Thanks had seen those in my search, when I get closer they're on my list of contacts.

I've also found a chap on the E90 section who posts about coding and sells kit - makkan - he's on my list of people to talk to as he appears to be a guru on these things.
