DAB receivers are available in Norway from a range of manufacturers,
and almost all shops now carry a selection of DAB radios. The total sales in 2011 were up 65% vs 2010. Reports from individual brands and shops suggest another year of significant sales increase for DAB radios. 70% of Norway’s top 20 selling car models now have DAB as optional or standard feature. The selection of in-car DAB adaptors is also increasing rapidly, and prices start at approximately NOK 800 (Euro 115). More advanced adaptors, for hideaway installation and with good integration to the existing car infotainment system are also available.
