Pure Highway 600 In-Car DAB+/DAB Digital Radio FM Adapter with Spotify Control and Bluetooth for Music Playback – DAB Car Radio Adapter/Transmitter and Bluetooth FM Transmitter, Black

Product Information

On Highway’s wireless controller, press the Home button and turn and press the Select dial to choose ‘ SETTINGS’>‘ USB UPDATE’> Confirm by choosing ‘ YES’. Moving it further way (the sticky pad on the back of the receiver was reusable, but the aerial had to be discarded – luckily there was a spare in the box) improved reception on my A14 commute, but didn’t clear up the silence elsewhere.

Set reminders, check the weather, traffic information and more at the touch of a button, without touching your phone. Tagged tracks are identified and can be added directly to a Spotify playlist for you to enjoy again whenever you like. Doing this made it straightforward to attach the optional (it’s also included but only recommended that you use it) ‘magnetic grounding tail’ to the metal windscreen surround, with a view to ensuring the best possible signal. The recommended solution for a non-DAB car radio, the Dension DAB+U gives you an exceptional user experience with a simple and intuitive display of the DAB station’s information and menu on your RDS capable FM-radio. But whichever of the two you pick, you can rest assured that you’re picking a very user-friendly, well-designed and high-quality solution to in-car DAB.You can connect simultaneously to your car’s hands free Bluetooth and Highway’s BT music streaming (refer to your handsets BT connection guide). Also, as a necessary consequence of being battery powered, the controller goes into standby after so many seconds, and also you don't get any programme (SI) information. The Pioneer looks and feels like a high-quality piece of tech, with a big, clear screen that displays station and track information and is permanently on when powered up, unlike the battery-operated screens on the Pure and Kenwood.

The downside is the need for an extra cable to route, with wires needed for power, the aerial and aux out.It then has to be set up to receive DAB broadcasts, which is not too tricky, and the car's FM radio has to be tuned on a spare channel to it.
