Pure Highway DAB radio

[gb1234]

I've got one of these sitting in the cubby hole under the radio in my leon. I have the dab aerial secreted away in the glove box (!!) and have a very reliable signal coming from it so far. I did use the FM transmitter to 'tune' into a spare frequency but have now changed yo the Aux-in input as I kept needing to change FM stations (the DAB reception was always 90%+, it seems Radio 1,2,4 and Classic take up almost every available frequency where I live!).

Turn the autovolume of the Aux channel down (-5 I think) to avoid any hissing then you get a lovely clear sound for listening to the football/cricket!! Also using the aux channel means that when you turn the ignition on you're not waiting for the PURE Highway to catch up and tune in to a half Radio1/Classic FM frequency!!

I had a blaupunkt woodstock 53 on my previous car and was dreading the thought of AM radio again!! To be honest the PURE Highway is just as good a DAB receiver as the Bluespot was.

I got mine from Amazon for £60 - well worth a try - especially if you like cricket with these radios being a LW free zone

I liked the idea of this unit so went ahead and ordered, installed now but decided to hard wire the unit and also replace the supplied antenna with an OEM roof mount replacement........Have to say it's pretty good, altough it does drop out of DAB more regularly than Blaupunkt units i have had......

How does this unit connect to the car head unit. Do you have to have a USB input on your H/U?

There is an FM transmitter in the Pure DAB unit and it tunes into a free station on the HU (choose same FM frequency)

I will try and post some pics of the installation.

Installed at the back of console and hard wired so no trailing cable.

Tried the antenna supplied but found it cut DAB receive too much, so installed roof mount.

Just got my Pure Highway from Amazon & I like where you've fitted the unit. How have you mounted the flexi-stand? I can't find anywhere that would allow the suction cup to stick?

Know this post is a bit old, but I was searching for ages about how and where this would fit to my ibiza ecomotive. True down by the ciggy lighter would have been the perfect spot, but it wouldn't fit in my Ibiza. In the end, I ended up biting the bullet and drilling my dash and 'hardwiring' it to the car. I know this sounds drastic, but I think it ended up working pretty well. The flexi-stand can be used but it takes a bit of modification. I would be happy to post some photos if it would help anyone, once I have clocked up the stupid 15 posts or whatever it is you need to add photos to this forum
