Elevate your in-car audio experience with the KICKER DAB AM/FM Amplifier Splitter, the ultimate solution for integrating modern digital radio into your vehicle without compromising your existing setup. Designed for the discerning audiophile who demands pristine reception and seamless functionality, this active splitter allows you to enjoy the expansive world of DAB/DAB+ digital radio alongside your traditional AM and FM stations, all from a single, original antenna.

Whether you´re navigating through the city or cruising on the open road, you can count on robust and reliable reception for all your favorite stations.
