"Good value for a simple DAB radio. Didn't want anything fancy and this does the job excellently. If I had to find one down side it would be that the memory buttons are too small for my farmers fingers."

Pros: very cheap value dab
Cons: no charging via usb
"Works well, inc Ariel that tuned in to DAB channels fine.
Worth a try in your area as its half the price of some other DAB stereo's.
One note is that it didn't charge my iphone which I didn't expect it too but would have been a great bonus if it did via USB."

Pros: all the ways of playing media
Cons: display is all one colour
"Bought this as cheapest DAB/MP3 ICE I could find. Getting the USB, SD card option was a bonus. I was pleasantly surprised by how good it actually was , I know the likes of Kenwood and Pioneer will probably produce better sound but the difference will be won't be huge. Pound for pound and with all the features included this headunit it can't be beat. The included DAB aerial gives excellent reception and I have mounted it on a metal plate on my dashboard so that it doesn't get damaged by me taking my ladders and roof ladders on and off all the time"

"Very poor build quality,buttons are very fiddly, buttons sometimes dont register when you press them, the unit often freezes, some of the buttons have stopped working.
DAB functions once selected are good, sound quality is good.
USB port at the frond doesn't charge apple products.
Overall, I wouldn't bother, spend a little extra and get a pioneer."

"It was a few weeks before I went on a long journey, and use it much, so I did not feel I could take it back, but is is terrible: When the CD is in it squeaks loudly about once per second, and the CD stops start and jumps even on a smooth motorway. In FM mode the radio also cuts out very frequently and even just changes channel on its own. Buy any other make, but not this."

"For the price you can't go wrong, I get about 15 stations where I am from DAB mainly BBC, Easy to fit. Although had to cut the red and yellow wire so that it remembered stations on my Astra. Seems to have touchy reception with a windscreen antenna fitted but works great on country lanes.."

Pros: versatility of music source
Cons: miniscule labels on buttons
"As you'd expect from a DAB radio, you can access all the channels, plus switch to CD, FM, or even USB or Auxiliary input - wow! Fascia is easily removed for security. However, a bit gutted that I lost the steering column controls, and reception of DAB signal is a bit hit and miss on long journeys. Am not using the magnetic aerial which was included - didn't like the idea of having to stick it outside each journey. However, internal aerial may not be as powerful, perhaps. Anyhoo - you get a lot of machine for your money, and that's a fact."

Pros: good connectivity., good sensitivity., full sound with equaliser tweaked.
Cons: buttons are a touch too small.
"For the price this was an excellent purchase. I bought it in order to receive Jazz FM and it does the job brilliantly.
It was very easy to install, taking about half an hour making sure the aerial wire was fastened down with a good entry into the car.
I am in an area where there are 3 local multiplexes, one is weaker that the other two. While listening to it in the middle of nowhere the signal was poor and it automatically changed over to FM, once out to the area of poor DAB reception is once again changed over to DAB.
SD card reader is an added bonus.
I wish I had bought it earlier."

Pros: great sound separation for the price, value for money, punchy sound with loudness on, card reader is a massive boost
Cons: radio can drop out inbetween towns cities, mag mount is a pain, front drop down flap has weak spring
"I bought this in the clearance sale as I wanted to see what all the fuss was about DAB radio. Well I fitted it, and although it was crystal clear, the sound was chronic so I took it out and boxed it back up to return it.
Then I thought, I wonder if it has a loudness button... so I refitted it and found out how to turn the loudness on... WOW what a difference!!! It now sounds meaty and on par with other radios I have had in the past, the bass is quite punchy and deep and the stereo separation is amazing.
So one button has transformed what I thought was utter rubbish, into an absolute bargain!
Dont hesitate, buy this and you wont regret it."

"I'm amazed by current technology. It doesn't matter how my music is recorded I can play it on this system. I've used cd's, sd cards, usb flash drives, phones, and ipods and they all sound fantastic. I've got some really rubbish speakers (standard KA) and still the music sounds great, can't wait to get my new speakers (also from Halfords, as you just can't beat the customer service), once they're fitted I think I 'll just live in my car!! lol!"

Pros: can't think of one.
Cons: lots
"I bought this unit and had it fitted by Halfords into my Motorhome. It is little used and only when not moving. The CD played will only play one CD then will not eject it until the unit is switched off and cools down. The display has a very annoying flashing symbol which cannot be turned off. Tuning to new DAB stations is the work of a geek and it hardly ever finds an FM station. If the volume control could be used as a fine tuning knob (like an 'old fashioned' radio) I'm sure I could find stations that the auto scan or manual 'jump' facility misses. I also did not realise when purchasing that the CD player is hidden behind a drop down panel. A very disapointing purchase."

I was really impressed! Coverage was great and an added bonus was that I did not even lose the signal under bridges.There is also a fantastic choices of stations. Highly recommend DAB. This unit comes with aerial and is vary good value."
