I love gadgets. This is ugly but perfect! It does exactly what its supposed to do giving you DAB in the car straight out of the box and also hand held DAB out of the car. Fixing is easy as is removing. Everything you need is in the box (apart from 2 AA batteries so you can use as a handheld portable DAB radio). Perfect for me as I travel to Football matches and listen to BBC 5 live. The reception is awful and often unbearable on analogue MW. When I get to the game I can then take it with me to the game to listen to match reports at half-time & full-time - How sad is that!
Very easy to install and use. The cables are very thin, about speaker cable size, and easy to hide away behind the trim. was disapointed with the reception but I have a heated front screen which I think affects it. Also I live in a bad area for DAB. So I decided to buy the aerial upgrade for around £16.00.
The aerial is very small and neat and sits on the roof magnetically, and there is enough cable (4 meters) to run it from the back of the roof through the hatchback to the unit. Again, the cable is very thin and easy to hide away. What a difference!! full signal strength and doesn't drop the signal at all.
Thoroughly recommend getting this package. It saved me a fortune on getting a dedicated DAB radio fitted.
Does exactly what it said on the box. Got one for Christmas and had it up and running with in 5mins of getting in the Car, only downside is finding where to hide the leads(just a small point). Well done Pure for a fantastic produce and Play.com for a fantastic price.
I don't like local radio, and radio2 only caters for my music tastes very occasionally, so its wonderful to be able to listen to Planet Rock, Kerrang or Absolute as well as a crackle free 5Live.
Yes, it does drop the signal now and then, but usually thats due to geographical location (ie the mid-Wales mountains), so thats when I stick a cd in instead!
And yes, in certain areas you'll get interference from local radio stations, but its not a big deal to re-tune the unit especially if its mounted just to the right above the steering wheel (I've got a C4 Grand Picasso with a huge windscreen, so this is no problem). The arial wires will tuck away quite nicely behind the windscreen recess and with careful positioning the wires to the 12v adaptor can mostly be concealed.
My first unit did "die" after a couple of weeks, but I've had no problems with the replacement, and its great to have some "proper" music on the radio for once.
Works well as a hand held unit too, though battery life will be short!
Easy set-up. Reception excellent on the Isle of Wight with just the screen ariel. I have ordered a roof-top ariel but, based on current results don't think I will need it. It's a shame that some areas give such poor results because it puts people off having a separate DAB unit. My only criticism is the external wiring is a bit messy so you have to spend time and money (clips) sorting it out. But, hey-ho, for an outlay of 40sterling i am generally satisfied.
