Pure Highway 200 In-Car DAB+/DAB Digital Radio FM Adapter with AUX Input for Music Playback – DAB Car Radio Adapter/Transmitter, Black

Product Information

Overall, I’m delighted with the Highway 400. I felt pretty smug about the quality of my install – the fact that the wires are almost completely hidden behind the dashboard is a bonus. I also like the way they feed in from behind the ashtray and are therefore hidden away when the lid is closed.

If you’re looking for a more discreet way to listen to DAB, then the AutoDAB USB is virtually invisible once installed. Rather than using a separate screen, a small box connects to your car via its USB port. This allows you to scan through stations and select them using the car’s infotainment system, even via the steering wheel remote controls if fitted. Klangvolles Bose Audiosystem mit X Lautsprechern u. Subwoofer, Bluetooth Handyanbindung, Freisprecheinrichtung, Navigation, Dual UKW Tuner, etc.pp, alles über's Lenkrad steuerbar. Thing is my dashboard is starting to resemble a NASA control desk, so I want it away somewhere else in the car.Not that the Highway 400 is an unattractive device. In common with Pure’s range of household digital radios, the battery-powered wireless controller looks neat and obtrusive, while the OLED screen is clear and crisp, regardless of whether it’s night or day. It’s not worth running through the entire installation as part of this review, but there are some key things to note. Firstly, the antenna must be positioned as high as possible on the windscreen and at least 4cm from the side of the screen. This DAB adapter is easy to install, but you can pay to get a professional from somewhere like Halfords to install one for you if you’re unsure about how to do it. Natürlich lassen sich die Kabel ohne einen irren Aufwand zu betreiben nicht 100%ig unsichtbar machen, aber das stört mich nicht. When I plug the power lead in the display lights up for a couple of seconds then goes out.Sometimes it will work for a minute or two before switching off.

To install the Pure Highway 400 in your car, you will need a safe and secure place to attach the receiver and antenna, as well as a 12V power source or a USB power point. The antenna needs to be placed on the windshield to get a good reception. The receiver connects to the car stereo via an aux cable. This means your car stereo will need to have an aux input to use this adapter. Be very very careful with the update process - is not explained clearly and the controls are a little hit and miss.

The Install

As said, if you have a phone, especially with an ulimited'ish data contract I'd try streaming off that, wouldn't be as convenient though. DAB radio offers access to hundreds of radio stations – more than on FM. And in some cases, you can even access stations that are not available on FM radio. While you’ve probably got one (or more) DAB radios in your home already, it may not be something you get to enjoy while you're driving. The main difference over the Pure Highway 400 also tested here (below) is the addition of a separate microphone and phone connection option, allowing high-quality Bluetooth calls. Yet despite having this extra, the Kenwood is almost half the cost of the Pure. That makes it a bit of a bargain. Thanks but actually I just want decent interference-free radio reception without distortion and/or dropouts; I am not bothered about hands free calls.

Incidently I was down in the south west last week (went to exeter then cross country to watchet) and i listed to TMS on 5live sports extra continously without losing signal once - maybe a bit more care with aerial placement is needed? If you listen on the national MUXs, which is all i do, you DON'T need to retune as they sort themselves out as you move from area to area. If you listen to the local ones, well they are local, so you would expect them to drop out when you are not local. This change of mind return policy is in addition to, and does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law including any rights you may have in respect of faulty items. You can even hit a ‘Go’ button if you hear a song on the radio and you want to add it to your playlist. I can’t tell you if this feature is any good, because I tend to listen to Radio 5 Live, where music tends to be off the menu. If I’m honest, I don’t think it’s something I’d ever use. Do you want to dance?Allerdings fehlt DAB+ u. das lässt sich auch nicht nachrüsten ohne das Werksradiosytem durch etwas moderneres teuer zu ersetzen. Whether you’re new to digital radio or already enjoy the great choice and quality of digital radio at home you’ll love listening in your car with Highway. Aside from that, I’m delighted with the results. The lead is long enough to pull around the inside of the top of the A-pillar, down through the inside of the rubber door seal, behind the glovebox and centre console, and out through the ashtray. It’s a tidy job. Power to all our friends The Kenwood KTC looks suspiciously similar to one of our previous Best Buys, the Pure Highway 600, and we’d wager that they are the same device that has been rebranded. That means the Kenwood is easy to fit and works brilliantly, with no drop-outs on our test route. You can connect the Pure Highway 200 via an AUX in cable or transmitting the DAB radio via FM to your car stereo. That means it will work with older cars and even classics. It might not look like it does, but it also is a Bluetooth radio. It is great if your current audio system does not have Bluetooth yet, as you kill two birds with one stone.

Lediglich mit anbringen der Scheibenantenne u. der Verlegung des Antennenkabels hatte ich ein wenig zu tun, ging aber auch sehr gut. I've had mine for a month and it's pretty good, live in Yorkshire and get a good reception on the bundled aerial. The Pure Highway 400 consists of three main parts: the receiver which you place inside the windscreen, and the antenna which is placed externally on the windshield, and finally wireless controller which is attached to the dashboard.Been thinking about switching to one of these as my Revo Dab has become more and more unreliable of late. I absolutely love Dab radio in the car as normal FM reception has always been poor for me. That was the tipping point price for me. I now need to dind a reasonably neat way of fitting it into the car.
