Pure Highway 400 In-Car DAB+/DAB Digital Radio FM Adapter with Bluetooth for Music Playback – DAB Car Radio Adapter/Transmitter and Bluetooth FM Transmitter, Black

This is the second one of these I have bought for our cars. The quality of the item is very high and the installation is very easy. I love the fact that the head unit /controller is wire free so that all the wires are hidden out of sight. Very good reception too in my area (depends on where it is used) but very clear sound. I chose not to stick the head unit on the dashboard with the supplied bracket but keep it loose so that it is stored away in the centre console out of sight of prying eyes! It also mean I can pass it to a rear seat passenger (with younger, healthier eyes) and they can alter the stations for me on a long journey!

So firstly, for optimal signal fit the unit vertically as instructed. Fitting horizontally will result in very poor signal.Secondly, when the system is on it can can trigger my parking distance control in my car inadvertently. I have luckily discovered this is the cause rather than my cars PDC, so now I just turn the unit off when I use the PDC. This should not happen though so docked one star.Sound quality is superb (as long as installed correctly) and the remote / wireless setup of the controller is great design. App setup is fabulous and seamless functionality. Note though that if an iPhone is connected via bluetooth to the devices (there are two connections) you may discover your phones keyboard disappears when using google. Another annoying interference.Besides the two gripes - it really is execellent.

I recently bought an android headunit to get more features. Unfortunately the fm reception was really crappy. I tried installing a magnetic roof mounted antenna and nothing worked. I was close to getting a roof mounted antenna for several hundred pounds but as a last ditch attempt I bought this.I'm glad I did, the window mount is strong and has a proper earth unlike others. Very easy to install. Reception is great I can listen to all stations I normally would. The reception is better than thr roof mounted antenna I installed prior to getting this and better than my mums brand new car with oem dab antenna. It's mind boggling.Important to note. Place this antenna in a position where other electrical wires won't cross it. I got interference with my dash cam but wiring it around my car in a different way sorted it. If I had known this I probably would have mounted it in the rear windscreen. No biggie tho.Also air bubbles in the sticker mounted antenna affect the signal. Try and get as many out using a credit card.Very happy and recommend to all those who struggle getting a decent signal. And all those with an android headunit which plays up on them.

Where to start, ok Pure 400 was a doddle to fit, I even pulled the roof lining down and cleaned the paint off the underside of the roof to ensure a good magnetic connection for the antennae.Installed app, no problem, paired ok, did the latest update all good, scanned for stations,initially it found 16! (scanned numerous times and whilst still in the same place it never found the same number of stations, sometimes it found 59. The BBC stations were about the only ones that played, at the same time I had a 6 month old "Bush"portable DAB radio (£30) sitting next to me in the car, it found 64 stations and played on most of them, no interference, no drop out (even when I drove around with it on the passenger seat.).Now for the pure 400, I have tried to be "fair" in my assessment but when signal strength varies all the time drastically from 100 (not very often I would say) to 0 sitting stationary in a clear area, on many stations most often a selected station would simply not connect at all (we live 300+mtrs above sea level, so reception should be ok, if not then my portable DAB radio wouldn't work either, ) dash cam off, Sat-Nav off, me now very p****d off.As for reception when driving, forget it, I tried AUX and FM connections, nothing worked, just out of interest I had a JVC DAB radio in my white van, (yes I was one of those) initaly I had a stick on window aerial, load of **** changed it for an external roof aerial, BINGO job sorted, everything worked, nice DAB reception no , or very litle interference, even in the heart of London, deep joy!.So Pure,in heavans name sake sort your act out, your stick on aerial is not worth a damn, it's useless, release an external aerial as the standard for your products.Also I'm confused as to how many" rave review"s this product has!I give this product 1 star, only because their is not the option to give no starThis one's coming back for a refund (bet this review doesn't make it to the top critical review!)

I was sceptical before I bought this, and I wasn't expecting anything overly reliable - but it's worked perfectly ever since I plugged it in. Crystal clear reception on the DAB, with no dropout, and the bluetooth connection for playing audio from your phone is excellent too!It's a bit pricier than some of the alternatives, but you can see why - it's very reliable, and there are a few things you notice compared with cheaper options: the sound quality, and volume, is much better than others I've used - also, the FM transmitter (which I've not used much admittedly, I tend to plug into the AUX) is a much cleaner signal than I've had with other bluetooth receivers.I'd say anyone who's had issues with this either hasn't installed the arial properly (it's not complicated, but you do need to do it right - there's loads of youtube videos showing you how), or they live in a rural area with poor DAB coverage, in which case they'd have problems whatever unit they were using.Highly recommend.
