Yep. Wanted to do DAB (because HD radio is not offered) and found out it's a rest of the world thing. Avin btw, said HD radio wanted too much for licensing so they opted out.

The difference that I did notice was that prior to the upgrade it was at operating temp by the time I got to the freeway, about 2 miles or so from my house, I now let it warm up for about 60\90 seconds before I back out of the garage and if I don't hurry to the freeway she's just hitting temp as I roll onto the on ramp
I've had a Logic7 thermostat in a box for a couple of years (maybe 3 years?). Only been driving the 4.8 about 3000 miles a year over the last 3 years and so I just keep putting off a major service (motor mounts, VCG, alternator bracket gasket, complete cooling system, etc) in favor of other more immediate projects.
